VERSES: Riches, Wealth, Treasures

THE VALUE EQUATION

 

VALUE = BENEFITS (what you get) / COST (what you give)

Image result for consumer value equation"

If the values is greater than 1 you will make the transaction.

What would you trade your most valuable possession for?

What about something of sentimental value?

The more you are giving up means the more you have to get for the equation to equal 1 or more.

What about a person?  now the equation breaks.

As the denominator approaches infiniti, the equation stops working because it does not exist.

To understand Paul’s argument, you have to understand the concept of value.  He is saying there is a treasure that’s worth all that you have to find it and its not worth you trading for anything.  Once you find it, treasure it above all else.

Paul is struggling/wresting for them in prayer for them to get and understand that is so valuable which is:

“to be encouraged in heart” – Encouraged meaning to call along side, like in running a race and your struggling in order to strengthen.  The heart, which is our thoughts, emotions, desires, choices aligning in cohesiveness.

“to be knit together in love” – in this context he is talking about community (being together, reconciled, united).  The only thing that can knit together a group of people together is the love of Christ  Self sacrificial love.  I will lay down my desire for the sake of you whom I love.

“to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and he knowledge of God’s mystery which is Christ” – here he is talking about knowing Christ and not just intellectual knowledge about Jesus, but relational and experiential knowing.  Its not until you know someone in a deep relational way that you have full assurance and confidence when you are around the.

“in whom are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge” – this is something that may not seem incredible to us but would have to Paul’s original audience.  Wisdom was a huge deal to the Hebrews and in the OT.  Wisdom is the highest end in OT literature.  It is the great value worth giving everything for.

Proverbs 2 : The Benefits of Wisdom

1My son, if you will receive my words, and hide my commandments with you;

2So that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;

3Yes, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding;

4If you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hid treasures;

5Then shall you understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

6For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.

7He lays up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

8He keeps the paths of judgment, and preserves the way of his saints.

9Then shall you understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yes, every good path.

10When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul; 

*Treasure my commands within you – Treasure box – Ark of Covenant – commands within box

*We know him, if we keep his commandments.

*Seek understanding like silver

*Parable of silver coin in LUKE 15 which is reference to the 10 commandments and is sandwiched in between the parable of the Lost sheep and the prodigal son.

Luke 15 :The Parable of the Lost Sheep (Matthew 18:10-14)

1Then drew near to him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him. 2And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receives sinners, and eats with them.3And he spoke this parable to them, saying, 4What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, does not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repents, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

The Parable of the Lost Coin

8Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, does not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it? 9And when she has found it, she calls her friends and her neighbors together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)

11And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his living. 13And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave to him. 17And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you, 19And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants. 20And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21And the son said to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and am no more worthy to be called your son. 22But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23And bring here the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

25Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27And he said to him, Your brother is come; and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has received him safe and sound. 28And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and entreated him. 29And he answering said to his father, See, these many years do I serve you, neither transgressed I at any time your commandment: and yet you never gave me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30But as soon as this your son was come, which has devoured your living with harlots, you have killed for him the fatted calf. 31And he said to him, Son, you are ever with me, and all that I have is yours. 32It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this your brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Wisdom is an incredibly valuable commodity because it teaches you how to live life that leads to fullness.  In the board game LIFE, the most important thing in the box is not the currency, houses, or cars, the most valuable thing in the box is the instruction manual because it teaches you how to play the game.  God created us and designed us.  Wisdom is living according to the way God called you to function so you will thrive.  Jesus is the embodiment and incarnation of God’s wisdom.  The word became flesh.  So if you want to know how to live and thrive and be full of joy, look to know and follow Jesus.   He is the great treasure.  Paul is building the case that there is no limit to what you get in Christ.  He is of infinite value and inexhaustible wealth.  Here is what Paul is building to…you found him, don’t trade him for anything and lean into him.  Open yourself up to him and mind yourself into the depths of his knowledge.  The more you dig in and start pulling out jewel by jewel and start to see all that’s in the treasure chest that is Christ and your relationship with him, the more valuable he becomes to you.

Paul is saying Jesus is the most valuable possible possession you could have, there is not nee to look anywhere else and it is not worth trading for anything else, so don’t be fooled.  

Christianity is knowing and  following Jesus.  There should be no component of who we are, or any cause or issue that we take on or engage that does not pass through Jesus at the center of all things.

Dont’ let anyone deceive you in any other direction.

 

Matthew 13 : The Parables of the Treasure and Pearl (Matthew 6:19-21)

44Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to treasure hid in a field; the which when a man has found, he hides, and for joy thereof goes and sells all that he has, and buys that field.45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like to a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Why would he sell all he has with joy?  The only way he can do that is because he knows that what he is getting on the side of the equation is so much greater than what he is giving up.  He knew in an instant that the treasure was worth infinitely more than anything he had.

What would you give for something of immeasurable value?  All that you have, if you were actually convinced that it as immeasurable value.  NO LIMIT/ NO LIMIT…now the equation works.

Jesus is the treasure and our relationship with him is the most important thing we have.  He is worth everything.  He is worth all that we are and he asks of everything from us.  He asks for all we have and all we are.  This makes us uncomfortable because we don’t actually think hat we get is worth it.

When Jesus calls someone, he calls all of them, all of who you are.  We have nothing to lose by giving ourselves to him.  Go all in.  Put all your chips on the square.  Don’t hold back time, money, or habits.   Do we see the treasure that is our is Jesus Christ?

Is he the most valuable thing I possess?

Do I believe taht he is?

If so what does that mean for me in the value equation?

What are you willing to invest in that relationship?

What would it look life for me to be all in?

If no, what in my life is more valuable?
