Earth Harvest

When researching ‘treasure’, I was struck how often Israel and The Lord’s people are referred to as ‘special treasure’ and ‘my jewels’.  When reading different commentaries on this verse in Matthew, I learnt that the man can be Christ and the treasure in the field can be me and you.  I have always loved rocks, so I imagine the field as strata; the rocks underneath the surface; rather than the crops.  Hidden in this field is treasure that Christ can use.

Matthew 13:44

‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up.  Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.’
