Treasure Hidden in a Field (Matthew 13:44) No. 1: Frame 2 | Orthodox Christian Art Poster

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

- Matthew 13:44 (KJV)

☦️

The field is the world, the treasure is the preaching and knowledge of Christ. It is hidden in the world. For as St Paul says, We preach a wisdom that is hidden (1 Cor 2:7). He who seeks knowledge of God, finds it. And all that he has, be it pagan [or secular] doctrines, wicked practices, or money, he immediately throws away and buys the field, that is, the world. For he who has knowledge of Christ has the world as his own possession. For having nothing he possesses everything, and has the elements as his servants and commands them, as did Joshua and Moses.
