I take this parable the opposite way. The treasure is you. No one seeks after God unless the Father draws him. You don't give up everything. You don't find Christ then hide him again, only to then "purchase" the field or buy Christ. Is that what the kingdom of Heaven is like? No. The field as it says, is the world. You are in the world. The man who finds the treasure IS JESUS. He finds YOU buried in your sin. You are a treasure to him. HE gives up EVERYTHING to purchase you. This is about what Christ does for us, what the kingdom of Heaven is like.
A good reminder
God bless the preaching of his word!
Great teaching today! 👍
An honest, soundly doctrinal Word about the times we're in now. a Word for 2020.
It's always good when someone is not afraid to speak Truth when there are so many narratives vying for our attention that it can be hard to know what to trust.
Inspired teaching, as always, from Chuck. Thank you.
So good.
Amen 👍

It is great!!! Everyone got to give it a try and listen to Chuck Swindoll's Pod Cast The Purpose of the believers in the society is to bring glory and honor to the name of Christ.

Chuck Swindoll's Insight for Living. Has always been a favorite radio program of my mothers. And through her and my father I came to know God as did my brothers. My mother got me hooked on Chuck's program and wonderful message that feeds the soul. I am currently in Iraq, and having this to keep my faith strong and to keep focus on the truth, has been a real plus. And makes everyday away from my wife and new born that much easier. I just want to l et you knw that this is helpful and has helped in the worst of conditions. THANK YOU!! GOD IS GOOD!!!
