The Treasure Hunt

The following two parables in our study of Matthew's Gospel today only occur only in Matthew. The other Gospels don't include them. That's an important point right from the start. Remember that Matthew is writing to Jewish Christians (audience), and his theme in writing this Gospel is that Jesus is King. Today, we're studying the Parable of the Hidden Treasure and the Parable of the Priceless Pearl. Today is like a treasure hunt. However, the big question becomes—what is the treasure? Do you truly know what it is?

And do you care about someone else’s treasure?
