Hidden Treasure

“If you cry out for wisdom and raise your voice for understanding; if you look for it as for silver, and search for it as for treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.” Proverbs 2: 3-5

Hidden Treasure AUDIO

An island search for a pirate’s treasure map.  An archaeological dig for an ancient artifact.  The discovery of a rare item with unimagined value in a grandparent’s attic.  Even the popularity of the current television program, Storage Wars, where bidders compete to purchase the contents of unseen storage facilities in the hopes of acquiring something of untold worth.

There’s something about the intrigue surrounding hidden treasure.  Jesus even used it when instructing his disciples.   “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field” Mt. 13 44 (RSV).  So let’s go treasure hunting.
