I'm wondering about all the stories describing the kingdom of heaven. It must be pretty important for us to understand. In fact before the second one in today's reading (Matthew 13:34-50), Jesus says, "Are you listening to this? Really listening?" (The Message)
Then out rolls one of the best. It is the story of the man stumbling in a field upon a treasure that is worth more than he could ever dream of. Can't you just see him hiding the treasure, glancing around, and then running crazy with joy to sell everything possible to get that field and fortune for himself. I mean this treasure is worth more that anything he has and everything he has all combined.
That's our story. We have found the unimaginable treasure of life with Jesus as our King, Savior, Provider, Defender, Redeemer and Friend. This fortune is worth more that anything we have and everything we have all combined. With Christ as our King we have the real treasure, and crazy joy gratefulness must be our response.
