“Light from on high”
– Luk 1:78 (AMP)
Spiritual Treasures
Having spoken on Sunday about how every experience in life is simply a physical manifestation of some happening in the spirit-world, I would like to quote two verses from The Passion Translation –Acts 3:1-2
“One afternoon Peter and John went to the temple for the three o’clock prayer. As they came to the entrance called the Beautiful Gate, they were captured by the sight of a man crippled from birth being carried and placed at the entrance to the temple. He was often brought there to beg for money from those going in to worship.”
This is a well referenced incident from the book of Acts. The Passion Translation has the following footnote about the “Beautiful Gate”:
Keeping in mind that God is Spirit and therefore the entire Bible is meant to be understood in a spiritual context, we engage in a deeper journey with God and His Word. The encouragement today is to constantly ask the Holy Spirit to unearth the deeper spiritual treasures imbedded in the Bible. In the words of the parable of the treasure – Mat 13:44 (TPT):
“Heaven’s kingdom realm can be illustrated like this: “A person discovered that there was hidden treasure in a field. Upon finding it, he hid it again. Because of uncovering such treasure, he was overjoyed and sold all that he possessed to buy the entire field just so he could have the treasure.”
May we “buy the entire field” so we can discover all the spiritual richest of God’s Word!
