The Hidden Treasure - The Field Where the Kingdom Waits

A man walks through an ordinary field and finds something that changes his life forever. In two short sentences, Jesus opens up the largest truth he ever taught about what God is doing in the world.

Micah Thompson walks slowly through these nine clauses. The field is not a temple. The treasure is not a program. The man is not a saint. He is a person who notices what others have overlooked, and lets the noticing rearrange everything. In his joy, he sells everything he has and buys the field. The joy comes before the sacrifice. The sacrifice is the natural shape of the joy.

An invitation to sit with one of the most surprising pictures Jesus ever offered, and to let the picture do its work on the way you see your own field, your own walking, your own hidden treasure.
