"Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like treasure; hidden in a field which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all he has and buys that field." Matthew 13:44
"Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like treasure; hidden in a field which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all he has and buys that field." Matthew 13:44
In our men's group we talked about desire, not our desire, but His and how it directs our lives. The parable of the treasure hidden in the field is about a man's desire for the Lord Jesus Christ.
The parable states that this man sold all he possessed to obtain this Divine treasure. That is what true desire is all about, not desiring the things of the world which is fading away but that which comes from loving Jesus with all of your heart!
When one receives Jesus, his heart is filled with the love of God and the Holy Spirit permeates his soul, the mind, will and emotions of his being. Remember Jesus said, "On earth as it is in Heaven." That is His desire for us, that His kingdom resides in our hearts!
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4
