Today, Pastor Jack teaches that an oyster hides a great treasure that does not appear on the surface. It starts as an impure irritant, but over time, it becomes a pearl of great value. As true believers in Christ, we are those pearls in the making.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus values us beyond estimation. Our lives, our future here on earth, and our eternity is what is most valuable to Him.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Jesus loves us in the most impossible way. Even those things that have been hidden from us will come to light. Jesus paid the ultimate price to receive us to Himself, and what’s so astounding is that He did it with joy.
We’re taking our time here in Matthew chapter thirteen due to its rich contents. Today we’ll concentrate on a couple of parables from Jesus. One that speaks of a hidden treasure and the other a costly pearl!
We’re exploring one of the parables of Christ that speaks of a treasure hidden in a field. So who is this treasure? Pastor Jeff will weigh in on this today.
So far, in this series we’ve typically looked at one parable at a time, breaking down each analogy. Our primary text has been Matthew, thirteen, which records many of these parables. And we will be in that portion of Scripture today, but we’re also looking at the Old Testament, which gives a foreshadowing of why and how believers receive these “literary devices,” and their methods of communicating the truth of God’s written word.
