​A man was digging in a field, the heat of the sun on his back. His hands were dry and tired, when he hit something hard in the ground. Huh, he thought to himself. Maybe some buried rock or old structure…but maybe something else. After all, there are rumors of treasure in these fields.

The further he dug, the more anticipation welled in his throat. When he hit the dusty box,  he had to catch his breath. It was treasure. Cash. Gold. Priceless items in a long-forgotten box. ​

But he didn't tell a soul. He covered it up. Then he ran home, jumped online and did some research on the value of ... well, everything he owned. Altogether, his home, clothes, the food in his pantry, any family keepsake he had was worth less than the treasure he'd found. So he sold it all, made a fair amount, and then seemingly overpaid for the small field he was in days earlier. Everyone thought he was crazy as he ran through the small field, shouting with joy. But he knew there was treasure underneath. A great treasure. And now it was his.

The Kingdom of Heaven's like that. (taken from Matthew 13)

Jesus used stories often to convey the message of His grace and the severity of rejecting it. His heart was moved with compassion for a people who desperately needed Him, and a people who hungered for story. Josiah and Becca are honored to be following His footsteps in this way.
