1 | Who is the man who buys the treasure? | Matt 13:44 | 00123 | 225871 | ||
What is the treasure and who is the man? if the treasure is the Kingdom of Heaven (is it?), can we say the man who sacrifices everything is our Lord rather than we? The reason I am thinking that way is we didn't pay anything but faith and confession to enter the Kingdom, but the Lord did. For example, “Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. (Isaiah 55:1 ESV). We just go and receive the Kingdom as a gift of grace. No "work" of "price" of our own is involved for us to be a citizen of the Kingdom. |

2 | Who is the man who buys the treasure? | Matt 13:44 | stjohn | 225921 | ||
00123, if we read v37-38 Jesus gives us some very important clues for interpreting the parables. for instance the man sowing is the Lord, and the field is the world. Now first off, we don't go seeking God, He seeks us. So, it stands that if the clues He gives us in these verses, apply to others as well, then the man who finds the treasure is the Lord, the field is the world, and the treasure believe it or not is His elect (us). Remember, God gave His all for us, we didn't give anything or pay anything, He did. So as much as I admire my colleagues, I will have to respectfully disagree and say I agree with you.-John | ||||||
