Matt13 v44-46. As we start another week, have we really counted the cost?

We find the description of a hidden treasure and the pearl of great price in biblical parables. They both present to us a challenging truth: these things were gained by selling all, and the selling all was done with joy ( Matt 13 v44). This was because of the prize before them (Phil 3 v7-9), Christ is the hidden treasure the pearl of great price. The lesson is simple we must forsake all if we want Jesus: No sin must be loved more than Him but be cut out, like the eye that offends pluck it out Christ says (not physically but spiritual cutting off of our bosom sins).

This lesson reminds us that sin and our battle against sin is a daily struggle. Paul encourages believers that we have put on the new man in Colossians 3. Romans 6 tells us the reign of sin (although not sin altogether) has been put to death the old man put to death on the cross (Rom 6 v6). If we want Christ that much and He is such a treasure of mercy, grace, love, goodness, all must be sold to get the pearl. No sin must be loved more. We can't have Christ and a love of sin a worldly mentality that holds idols before Christ. To know Christ is a wonderful blessing, the highest value of all that puts everything into insignificance. We should count the cost. It may cost us everything to take up our cross and follow him, many things that we currently love and enjoy. Christ secured our salvation, which is free through his perfect life and sacrificial death on the cross and he rose again from the dead for undeserving sinners such as you and me. The cost to us is nothing, but that love which saves us should also cause us to forsake all sins and a life lived for our self. To us, this can seem costly.

Don't start another working week without starting the day with Jesus and counting the cost! Praising God for the blessing you have and denounce anything that is crowding out Christ and his word from your life. God will give us grace daily to do this and we strive to know that God is refining us.
