We now having found the kingdom of heaven must ponder the awesomeness of it. For we have found a place inside of us hidden from our eyes, our touch, etc. A whole new world to discover. A world so different from the outside world we live in. These writings are called parables.
Parables are simple stories which tell truth.
Jesus spoke in parables and many listeners did not understand them. The treasure spoken of in Mat. is the person who finds the kingdom of heaven within himself. The men in the parables who sell all that they have to own the treasure, are the ones who find the kingdom of heaven and desire to know it more deeply leaving behind the ways of this world. In this, the kingdom of heaven inside of them becomes more important then the things they can see, touch, or buy. We learn in these parables written here that some desires to give up the things in this world, for the things inside the kingdom of heaven.
