Message Background:

The kingdom of God is a heavenly treasure lying in the field of this poverty-stricken, bankrupt, accursed world. Yet it holds the potential to make every one of the earth’s poor, miserable, blind, empty and lonely inhabitants immeasurably rich and satisfied for all eternity. This treasure includes forgiveness, a deep love, lasting peace, and an eternal purpose. The call of God is priceless and only a fool would be unwilling to relinquish everything he owns to gain it.

Like buried treasure, however, God’s activity in the world is hidden and must be discovered. Like a pearl of great value, it must be sought in order to be found. It is there for those who seek it, but it’s not always obvious. The true meaning is not immediately manifest. People in the world are blind to the riches of God’s kingdom. Many Christians miss it too because the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth cloud their vision.

But the point of these two short parables is not on the finding, but the overwhelming response to the discovery. Once your eyes have been opened to see what God is doing in the world the natural response is to give all of yourself to join Him. These simple parables are not an investment strategy—a calculated plan for the future—but a whole-life response to the call of God on your life. Everything this world has to offer counts as sheer loss compared to the value and satisfaction of joining God in his work in the world.
