Heaven is a Treasure...

I am reading a book that I have struggled through and have 91% read...when I read I like to be taken away by the book, and yes it has to be what I consider an exciting book...but this book has not been exciting to me...but I know it has been to others.

But today I read a section that really spoke to me...it is where an old Jewish man, Eli, has studied the Bible, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, and by one of the characters in the book, Eli is a "covert Christian"...lol. But  Eli says "ONe day I was reading a parable that Jesus told the disciples. He said the kingdom of God is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then to his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. And it hit me, Jonathan, I was that man. I knew the truth, I'd found buried treasure. But what was I going to do about it? WAlk away? Ignore it? Or follow Christ whatever the cost?"
Now that is from :

Matthew 13:44 (New International Version, ©2011)

The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl

    ⁴⁴ “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. "

 

We hear and are involved in what is going on in the Middle East...and we have the Bible...which has foretold all that is going on today....I must ponder this for awhile...will we allow God to take each of us where He wants us to go?

 

And DO NOT forget that Heaven is a treasure that all of us can share...
