A Harvest and a Wheat Field.


So I you have prolly driven by a field or seen a field before in your life right? Well I know I have and they make me so curious about them. I just wonder about them sometimes like all the hard work for the abundant harvest that will await the hard workers. Today's blog is going to come from the book of Matthew :)


Matthew 13:44-46

~The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure that is hidden in a field. When a man found it he hid it again and then in his JOY went and sold everything he owned and bought that field. Again the kindgom of heaven is like a merchant looking for FINE pearls when he found one of great value he went away and sold everything he owned just to buy that pearl.


So when I read this passage I get two analogies well I prolly get more but I want to share these two with you.

First I feel like when Jesus spoke on this parable we are like that hidden treasure in that field. We are hidding in this field (which we will call the world) and Jesus is finding us and searching after that treasure. He PAID the price just so we would be his prize possesion just so he could claim us before anybody else did. Jesus is also like the merchant because he sold everything to have possesion of that pearl. Pearls are unique and different not one of them is the same size or color and Jesus views us as a pearl in HIS hand he purchased us by his blood.


My second analogy is this I think also what could have been taking place on this parable is this. I believe MY generation is like this hidden treasure in this field that the unsaved are just hidding we are the ones that need to go find all this treasure in the field. When we find the treasure we are going to be filled with joy because we finally can come to reliazition that the LOST are found now! God views the lost as treasure because he is going to use them for HIS glory and his kingdom.

Matthew 9:36-38

~states that the harvest is PLENTIFUL but the workers are few.

The harvest is more than ready the lost are more than ready to be found but it is us the workers that need to ever be so bold and walk out in faith going to look for them. WE got to rise up and take a stand and be detrimed to find the lost and be willing to pay the price so Jesus can have them back. The price we have to pay is suffering and trials and storms. For if we didn't have any how would we ever be able to minister and grow in Christ? We can minister to people through expierence :) God is wanting these anicent ruins to be rebuilt so lets be bold and start looking for the lost!

I encourage you all to reach out to maybe say 1 person this week who could really use a compliment or a hug or even a smile! God Bless :) and hey 2 more days till easter and for sure I will be writting a blog about that until then have a blessed day!
