ahadour of turning jimei 117 hidden treasure there is some thing about it that catches our imag inations and stirs our expectancy of discovering great riches men are constantly going on expeditions to seek out lost treasure others- re engaged in study and research tv bring out new treasures to nature or in the reahn of learning or art why not stir up a- little excite ment about the unbelievably rich treasures which are hid in christ and in the life of faith in him it is not bidden except to the eye of unbelief but it is greatly neglected and all but forgotten by many i the scripture portlona assigned for our lesson are not as well adapted to it as one could wish but we may make good use of them we learn here- t i the cost of redemption 13 44- 48 1 undoubtedly the lesson committee had hi mind the usual interpretation of these parables which presents the sinner as the one seeking th treasure and giving up all that he may have christ f- while it is true that our redem hon is worth more than anything else in all the world and that the christian would gladly set aside or would he everything for christs sake yet that does not fulfill the thought of this parable after all what has a sipner whose own right eousness is described in scripture as filthy rags to sell in order to obtain redemption and is tt for sale see eph 2 8 obviously we here have the sn viour with his allseeing eye and loving heart noting in fallen human ity the pearl of great price his own church he then gives up all the glorv he had with the father comes to the earth and even be comes sin for us that he may bring us to god salvation in christ is no little thing not something which was pur chased with gold or silver but with the precious blood of christ we ought to value it highly and he- cause we are bought with such a price we ought always to glorify god i cor 6 28 ii the heart of compassion 14 n 16 the one who was willing to dif that men might have eternal lift- was not unmindful of their need nf his mcrcv and grace for their dailv problems jesus not onlv diet that we might have redemption from sin but he lived yes and lives now with tenderhearted com passion toward those in need he who is the living bread wav not willing that men should hunger for their daily bread the disciples saw only one solution to send them away but jesus said they need not depart one is fearful that the church ha been all too quick about sending thp needy away to some social agencv or community charity when it should have won their confidence by its compassion and then brought them to christ little is much when god is in it and by the divine touch of jesus the multitude was fed could we not do far more for christ if we would only use the little we have with his blessing for the help of our fellow men in the miracle of provision 14 1721 we pray give us this day our daily bread and it is only as god provides it that we have it he gives life to the seed and multiplies it in rich harvest and we eat we trust with thankful hearts that is a miracle so oft repeated that we have lost a bit of the wonder and glory of it here in the story of the feeding of the five thousand and more v 21 with five loaves and two fishes we have such a mira- cle of provision taking the little and making it enough for the multitude the lord may not work in exactly the same way today but do not gods servants see him multiply their meager store as they give it out in his name that is true whether the gift be of material or spiritual things god can and does bless those who trust him letting what we have pass through the hands of christ results in transfor mation and multiplication try it men and women are valuecon scious in our day while money is plentiful goods of real quality are scarce and one must look for that which has durability and worth the treasures which christ offers are en during he says lay up fdryour- selves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal matt 620 by contrast the things satan of fers are temporary in a few years most earthly honors and wealth must be laid aside but the treas ures of the kingdom are treasures which god intends that we should forever
