-To be sure, all the hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge are found in Jesus. There is no hidden knowledge to be found outside of Him. Those gnostics were wasting their time. We can and should and must make it our goal to simply get to know Him, to follow Him, to pursue Him, to learn all we can about Him. Because He IS the Treasure. He is THE Treasure above all treasures. He is God incarnate, fully God and yet fully man. He died, and yet He lives forever at God’s right hand. He was tempted like us, experienced brokenness and hardship like us, yet He never gave in and He never gave up. During His time on earth He lived perfectly into what God wanted, and now while He is seated in heaven He also lives inside each one of those whose heart is fully His, recreating and manifesting His life - His love, His goodness, His holiness - in and through His people. He changed history, and He changes hearts, redeeming our pasts, our presents, and our futures in order to show off His breathtaking goodness. He made the universe, and He made each and every person, unique, special, marvelous and wonderful, beautiful and beloved. To know Him, to come to trust and fear and love Him is the beginning of knowledge, the fountainhead of true wisdom. He is Jesus, the Christ, God’s Messiah, and there is no better Name, no one else...
