Matthew 13:44-46

Jesus said to the crowds: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field which someone has found; he hides it again, goes off happy, sells everything he owns and buys the field.

When you look at the context here, Jesus is not pulling any punches with the religious experts. He is being criticized for spending the bulk of his time with common folk, the sinners. I wonder where his eyes are looking as he speaks with the Pharisees.

He says he has found more genuine relationships and friendships among those thrown away. Yes the are covered in dirt but he would rather be there than in a stab you in the back religious meeting.

Whenever Jesus calls me valuable, whenever he pays the price for me it empowers me to no end. He has chosen us, yes even us at Rabbouni.

Love you and I hope you see that the treasure is you.
