"The Value of the Gospel"

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13‬:‭44‬-‭46‬‬
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

The kingdom of heaven is not simply like a treasure, The kingdom of heaven is like the situation of finding the treasure, valuing it properly, and acting appropriately.


Mark 8:34b-36
If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

Mark 8:37-38
For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”


Hebrews 1:3
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

The kingdom of heaven is not simply like a treasure, The kingdom of heaven is like the situation of finding the treasure, valuing it properly, and acting appropriately.
