Verse 44: the Parable of Treasure Hidden in a Field AT 13:44{in This Parable, the Kingdom of Heaven Is Likened to Treasure Hidden in a Field, Whose Whereabouts and Existence Is Altogether Unknown to Anyone. Then, a Certain Man Finds It and, Having Hidden It, Goes and Sells All He Has, in Order to Buy the Field, so He Can Get the Treasure That's in It

Once more, by now, we know what the field is. It's the world. There's a treasure in it however, which has never before been seen, but which a man now discovers and will spare nothing to get it. He sells everything he has and spends all, in order to possess the treasure his heart craves.
Surely, Christ is the man; and you and I are the treasure. So great was His love for each one of us individually that He gave up everything He had, in order to get us for Himself. The cost though was so great that it also paid for the purchase of the whole world. Accordingly, He not only has sole rights over us, but He also has sole rights over the whole world too, as well as over everybody that's in it. Moreover, so complete is His ownership of all things that, believers and unbelievers alike are His possessions and come under His lordship. (See 1 Cor. 6:19-20; 2 Peter 2:1; etc.) Therefore, when He sets up His earthly kingdom, it will be, in effect, His redemption of the possession already purchased. (See Eph. 1:10,13-14.)
