His Treasures

Matthew 13:44,
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto
treasure hid in a field; the which when a man
hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof
goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth
that field."

MATTHEW 13:44-50

The interpretation of this parable is this:
the field is the world, the man buying the
treasure is God, the treasure is the true
believers in Christ.
The price that was paid was the very life
of Jesus on the cross.

Jesus saw, through His foreknowledge, a
remnant of people who would receive Him
as Lord, and "for the joy that was set before
him," He endured the cross (Hebrews 12:2)
and purchased us unto Himself with His
own blood (Acts 20:28).

He purchased the whole world, but not
everyone will receive what He did.

The Church is hidden (scattered among the
world) today.
Father God had the plan of salvation worked
out before He even created the world.

Most of us would not have created the world
and mankind if we had known the heartache
and terrible sacrifice this act would cost.
But God is not man.
In His judgment (which is the correct
judgment) the prize was worth the cost.

God knows in advance those who will accept
His offer of salvation.

The Scriptures teach that we (believers) were
chosen in Christ before the foundation of the
world (Ephesians 1:4).
That's how infinite God's ability is.

We were chosen in Christ before the world
began.

We are holy and without blame because God
sees us through Christ.
It was predetermined that we would be God's
children.
We have been accepted by God.

The Father would no more reject us than He
would reject Jesus, because we are accepted
by the Father through Christ.

We are redeemed and forgiven.
We are truly blessed!
