In Matthew 13:44–46, Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God is a treasure worth everything — but it will cost us everything. The with-God life isn’t just about heaven someday, but living under God’s reign here and now with joy, peace, and purpose. Yet many miss its value because it often looks ordinary or costly, while culture offers visible but empty substitutes. True discipleship requires honesty, desperation, and a willingness to say no to lesser things for the greater treasure of knowing Christ. The question isn't whether there's a cost — it's whether we see the surpassing worth of life with Him.
