" The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field." Mathew 13:44.
I was taught in the church that the treasure was Christ and we are to sell all and give our lives to him. But that doesn't line up with scripture. When I found him I didn't hid Him in a field and buy the field to have Him.
Now to line it up with scripture. The man that found the treasure is Christ. The treasure is the ten tribes that were scattered among the Gentiles. Remember the parable of the wheat and tares He scattered good seed and has to wait to then end (harvest) to receive them. The field is the world. Mathew 13:38 He gave all to buy that field. He became poor so we could become rich. 2 Cor 8:9.
