Jesus said to his disciples: “The Kingdom of heaven
is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and
out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the
Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a
pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.”

What are you willing to give up to have the kingdom of
God in your life?
Jesus depicted His
kingdom as treasure and pearl that whoever would find it will give up everything
just to have it. Indeed, the kingdom of God is a priceless treasure and pearl
that we must all try very hard to possess. For what it will do us if we have
treasures in this world yet we don’t have God in our lives.
The riches of this
world are all passing and temporary we will leave it all somewhere along the
path of our lives. Whether we like it or not we have to leave everything that
we have in this world. So what will remain?
The one that will
forever be there for us is God; the one that shall bring us to heaven is our
steadfast faith in God. These temporary things that presently surround us will
not be able to bring us to our eternal heavenly destination. It’s only through
God that we will be able to go to heaven.
In our gospel; the
person found the true treasure of life that is Jesus; he willingly gave up
everything just to have Him. The same also with the merchant when he found the
true pearl of his life that is Jesus he sold everything in his possessions so
that he could possess the greatest pearl that is Jesus.
Let us not yield
Jesus for the temporary riches and trappings of this world for what is inside
this world are all temporary and passing. But Jesus will always be there for us
until we are able to reach His kingdom in heaven.
Would you give up
your worldly possessions for the kingdom of God? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
