Matthew 13:44

kingdom

2 hid

The interpretation of the parable of the treasure, which makes the buyer of the field to be a sinner who is seeking Christ, has no warrant in the parable itself. The field is defined (v. 38) to be the world. The seeking sinner does not buy, but forsakes, the world to win Christ. Furthermore, the sinner has nothing to sell, nor is Christ for sale, nor is He hidden in a field, nor, having found Christ, does the sinner hide Him again (cf) Mark 7:24; Acts 4:20. At every point the interpretation breaks down.

Our Lord is the buyer at the awful cost of His blood I Peter 1:18, and Israel, especially Ephraim Jeremiah 31:5-12,18-20, the lost tribes hidden in "the field," the world (v. 38), is the treasure ; Exodus 19:5; Psalms 135:4. Again, as in the separation of tares and wheat, the angels are used ; Matthew 24:31; Jeremiah 16:16. The divine Merchantman buys the field (world) for the sake of the treasure (v. 44) Romans 11:28, beloved for the fathers' sakes, and yet to be restored and saved. The note of joy (v. 44) is also that of the prophets in view of Israel's restoration. ; Deuteronomy 30:9; Isaiah 49:13; 52:1-3; 62:4-7 65:18,19.
