Treasure Hunters

"In [Christ] are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." (Colossians 2:3)

Christ is the treasure. So too is the word of God treasure.

Will we find religious truth, yea, God himself, accidentally or on purpose? Will we "hunt" or not?

The psalmist said, “I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure” (Psalm 119:162).

"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field." (Matthew 13:44)

"If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God." (Prov. 2:4-5)

We must do some digging!

Wrote Dennis Fisher (see here):

"Are you eager to find the treasures stored in Scripture? Start digging!"

When reading God’s Word, take special care,
To find the rich treasures hidden there;
Give thought to each line, each precept hear,
Then practice it well with godly fear. —Anon.

"The treasures of truth in God’s Word are best mined with the spade of meditation."

Other Quotations

"Jesus is like a treasure hidden in the field where everybody passes daily yet they do not see Him."

"Just as Jesus used an image or a story to illustrate a truth or a lesson, told to us hidden in parables, like buried treasure waiting to be discovered, for those who dug deep they would discover and understand his secrets."

Become a treasure hunter for theological truth! Mine the scriptures! You will surely be glad that you did.
