In this Bible story, we learn about the Parable of The Hidden Treasure. Jesus told a story about a man who found a treasure in a hidden field. He hid it again and tried to buy the property. It had been collected for an unpaid debt. The man would have to pay the debt before he could own the land, so he went and sold everything he had in order to buy the land. Salvation may look like a silly thing to the world, but to those whose hearts have been changed by the Holy Spirit, they are willing to give everything for the joy of knowing they will be with God forever and ever.

⁴⁴ “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.
⁴⁵ “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,
⁴⁶ who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

This means that we will be with God forever.

A word that describes giving up something we love for something even better. 

1. If you found a hidden treasure, what would you do with it? 
2. What are you willing to give up if it means being with God forever?
