Stories of the Kingdom: The Parables of JesusSample

Parable of the Hidden Treasure
In Matthew 13:44, Jesus tells the parable of the hidden treasure. He describes a man who discovers a hidden treasure in a field. In his excitement, the man buries the treasure again and then sells all his possessions to buy the field containing the treasure.
Why do you think the man chose to sell all his possessions to acquire the field?

About this Plan

Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
