| “GOD:
The Greatest Treasure of Them All”
“Jesus, Matthew 13:44-46:””“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.”
““Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of

wives to do good and not
anything that is frightening (1 Pet:3:1-6). How does that make any
sense?” “It only makes sense
if our hope is in the God who is than any

evil, but
for evil (1 Pet 3:8-17) How does that make any sense?””It
only makes sense if our hope is in a blessing this
world.””6. Peter can call us
to rejoice insofar as we Christ’s
sufferings (1 Pet 4:12-19). How does that make any sense?””It only
makes sense if our hope is grounded and our souls entrusted to a Creator.” “What earthly treasure is worth more
