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
Religion thought often seek to make man the hero in the parable of Jesus. This parable is a good example. You're probably heard it said that the treasure hidden in the field is Jesus and we should be willing to give anything to know Him. However, that's not what the parable is teaching.
Is it really possible that we could "buy" Jesus as the man in this parable buys the hidden treasure? No, the Hero of the story is Jesus Christ. You didn't buy Him. He bought you. He saw you in this world (rhe field) and gave all all that He had (His life) for the world so you might belong to Him. You have been bought with a price and it was a great price, but you were worth it to Him.
See yourself as treasure by Christ and you will discover joy rising up in you. You are a precious treasure to God. That is your true identity. Claim it as being honest true a d praise Him for it.
