Jesus @ The Center: We Become What We Value

Are we truly valuing what matters most in our spiritual lives? This powerful teaching challenges us to examine the core of our beliefs and how they shape our motives, choices, and ultimately our identity. The parable of the hidden treasure in Matthew 13:44-46 serves as a striking illustration of how we should view our relationship with God - as something of infinite worth, deserving our complete devotion. We're encouraged to reflect on whether we treat our faith as a priceless treasure or as something disposable. The deep dive into the concept of 'knowing' God reminds us that true faith goes beyond mere head knowledge; it's about a covenant relationship that transforms our entire being. As we align our values with Jesus' teachings, particularly those found in the Sermon on the Mount, we're prompted to consider: Are we becoming what we truly value? This teaching urges us to start at the foundation - our relationship with God - and allow it to shape every aspect of our lives.
