Wise Men Still Seek Him!

"But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness..." Matthew 6:33


In Matthew 13:44-46 we read of the Kingdom of Heaven which is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to buy the field so he could get the treasure also. In the very next parable we read: Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a pearl merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!

The man who discovered the treasure in the field stumbled upon it by accident it seems but he knew its value when he found it. Perhaps this is the first time you hear about the Good News of God's Salvation (forgiveness of sins & eternal life ..read the gospel of John). Now you've stumbled upon it, and you know this is what you have been looking for all your life!  Like the man in this parable, leave everything behind until salvation becomes yours! If God said "Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God..."  it must very important!

On the other hand, the merchant  was earnestly searching for the pearl of great value, and when he found it, he sold everything he had to purchase it. Perhaps you've been searching for THE TRUTH all your life? Jesus said: "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME." John 14:6  THE BIBLE

Whether you've been searching for this truth all your life or perhaps heard about it,  you need to put everything aside (friends, money, fame, whatever else or whoever else) and make this important matter your #1 priority, or you won't own this precious treasure/pearl!


Precious Pearl: "And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when you shall search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13


Wise men still seek Him!
