The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. (Matthew 13:44)

Hidden, unexpected, and worth everything.

Jesus came from an obscure village, practically hidden-away far from Jerusalem.

He came with a message of forgiveness, love, and reconciliation with God, instead of the expected message of national liberation.

The reign of God - like this treasure - is already present, yet like a seed or yeast hidden in its potential.

Once recognized and received the power of God can transform.
