What is the kingdom of God like? The Lord Jesus compared it to items good for food – to a delicious herb and like bread made from fine flour. But in Matt. 13:44-46 He goes on to reveal it is also like a treasure hidden in the earth and a pearl worth selling all for. The crucial significance of the pearl and the treasure is explored on today’s programme.

On today’s Life-study we come to the parable of the net (Matt. 13:47-50). A full picture of how the kingdom would appear as Christendom is prophetically presented by the six parables in this chapter. The practical application of these parables, and the parable of the net with its connection to the eternal gospel in Revelation 14 is made clear by Witness Lee.
Witness Lee expounds the significance of the treasure and the pearl in Matt. 13:44-46. We trace the historical fulfilment of overcoming believers, a small remnant of those who paid the price to be transformed and built up to attain to God’s goal. In Revelation, we see how today the Lord is still sounding the call for us to be overcomers to meet His need.

After unveiling the mysteries of the kingdom, Matthew presents the rejection that the Kingly Christ suffered at the hands of religious and political establishments. In Matt 13:53-14:13 we consider the rejection from His countrymen and by the Gentile tetrarch. We too must follow the same pathway of rejection to participate fully in His kingdom and enter into glory.
