The ways of God sometimes confuse more than they comfort. At times we are painfully aware that Christ’s kingdom “is not of this world.” Thankfully, the Lord unlocks the secrets of his heavenly kingdom using simple, down-to-earth terms. He not only reveals the way his kingdom operates, he also convinces us of its beauty and wisdom. This week we grasp the kingdom’s worth. Jesus brings up the well-known topic of treasure to teach us that his kingdom is worth more than anything we value in this world. Indeed, those who know God have access to a value system of such infinite worth that their relationship to this world is fundamentally changed for the better. Jesus is our priceless treasure.
