Galatians 1 | Background
Introduction from Paul - called by God - Christ has saved us - why are you
deserting the gospel - I am trying only to please God - I proclaim God &
deserting the gospel - I am trying only to please God - I proclaim God &
a revelation of Jesus Christ; I was bad before but I saw Jesus and changed
forever.
Matthew 13
In the Treasure parable, one's "treasure" (thesaurus in Greek) is an
important metaphor in Matthew indicating where one's allegiance
ultimately lies and its nature. "For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be also." (6.19-21; also cf. 12:35; 19:21) The discovered and
claimed treasure in this parable also anticipates the scribe's treasure
mentioned in a moment in 13:52. Like the hidden leaven and like that
which "has been hidden from the foundation of the world" (13:35), this
treasure ultimately cannot be kept secret. WorkingPreacher
