The Hidden Treasure
He found treasure in a field and joyfully bought the whole field. (Matthew 13:44, King James Version (public domain))
A man finds treasure hidden in a field, and in his joy sells everything he has to buy that field and gain the treasure.
What it means
Finding the Kingdom is like stumbling on treasure worth more than all you own. The response is not reluctant duty but joy that gladly gives up the lesser for the greater.
