Matthew 13:44-52 the Kingdom of Heaven Explained

Hidden Treasure “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

A Costly Pearl “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.

A Dragnet “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind; and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. “Have you understood all these things?” They said to Him, “Yes.” And Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old.”

Daily Prayer: Father, we know not because we see not. If people had spiritual eyes to see Your Kingdom, they would abandon everything they have in pursuit of it. Your glory we do not understand nor have we witnessed in our realm. But open the eyes of our hearts so that we may see, know, and understand. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
