June 25, 2024 – Are You Blind to Spiritual Reality?
Matthew 13:44
Sermon: 2049 The Strange Mystery of the Buried Treasure
Pray Over This
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”
Matthew 13:44
Ponder This
When our Lord came to Earth, He uncovered the treasure that was hidden in the field. He displayed the kingdom of Heaven. In Matthew 12:24, the religious leaders criticized Jesus for casting out demons. They said He did so by the power of Beelzebub. But Jesus said in verse 28: “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.” The King of the Kingdom was right in their midst and what did they do? They refused Him. They were blind to spiritual reality. They said, “He has a demon.” Even when they saw, they didn’t really understand what He was doing. When they heard, they really didn’t listen to what Jesus was saying.
The Kingdom was uncovered through Jesus’ coming. There was a glimpse of glory. The very King who held the keys to the Kingdom was doing miracles among them, but they were blind to that reality and the Kingdom was buried in their midst. May this not be the case for us.
- How can we posture ourselves to have our eyes open to the mysteries of the Kingdom?
- Where do you need to humble yourself today and ask God to reveal the Kingdom to you?
Practice This
Write out ways you might be guilty of the same attitudes as the Pharisees. Submit these before God in prayer.
