In Matthew 13 Jesus told two short parables about a hidden treasure and pearl of great value. Why was the treasure hidden and the pearl so difficult to find? Does God refuse to be found by those who do not seek Him with all their hearts? And why did Jesus say that the two seekers would have to give everything they had to obtain the treasure or the pearl.
These parables contain the essence of Jesus’ teaching on salvation, a teaching which is seldom if ever taught these days.
00:15 Two important questions.
01:21 Atheist demands and delusions.
04:19 God hates mediocrity.
05:36 God’s command to seek.
08:37 The cost of salvation: everything.
11:38 Counterfeit ‘christianity’.
14:07 Summarizing Jesus’ teaching.
16:43 Leading seekers to Christ.
