Pursuing A Treasure That Lasts


“Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.” Proverbs 3:13-18


In the book of Proverbs, King Solomon writes that wisdom is more profitable and precious than silver, gold, and rubies. In the New Testament, Jesus tells a parable about a man who discovers a hidden treasure in a field. The man is so overjoyed with his discovery that he sells all he has to buy the field where the treasure is hidden. Jesus’ point? The kingdom of God is worth all we have and we should want it more than anything else.
