In Matthew 13:44-46, Jesus tells two parables about a hidden treasure and a precious pearl to reveal a profound truth: while we often see ourselves as seekers of God's treasure, we are actually the treasure that God seeks. God takes the first step in pursuing us, demonstrated ultimately when Jesus gave His life on the cross because we were worth everything to Him. Understanding that God traded His life for us should lead us to trade our lives for Him, making Jesus our greatest treasure above all else. This creates a beautiful rhythm where Jesus sought us out and paid the ultimate price, and we respond by declaring Him as our treasure and giving everything to Him.
