All In
Matthew 13:44-46
44 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.
45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls.
46 When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it.
All In

Matthew 13:31; Mark 4:30-31

31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

There Are Two Kingdoms
Ephesians 2:1-3
1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
2 in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience.
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
“In His Joy”
Like Jacob with Rachel
Like When I Drove from 24 Hours in Two Days
Joyfully Give Up Everything
“SOLD ALL HE HAD”
Matthew 13:44
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy he went and sold all he had and bought that field.
The Kingdom Is Exclusive
Matthew 10:37-39
37 Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
38 and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
Matthew 8:21-22
21 Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

Philippians 2:6-8
6 Who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with Godsomething to be grasped,
7 but emptied Himself,
taking the form of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
He humbled Himselfand became obedient to death—even death on a cross.
