Enjoy this 5-day devotional series based on the The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and The Pearl and The Parable of the Net from Matthew 13:44-52

Consider this: what if everything on your “favorites” list, added together, did not come close to the value of one thing you might be overlooking?

That is the question at the heart of three parables Jesus told in Matthew 13, and it is a question worth sitting with long after the initial reading.

Read and reflect on a portion of Scripture, devotional thought, and application questions based on Romans 1-3 and the gospel of grace.

Romans 1, 2, and 3 together form one of the most complete and breathtaking presentations of the gospel ever written. To read only the first chapter is like walking into a courtroom, hearing the charges read aloud, and then walking out before the verdict is delivered.

Before you face today's challenges, pause and remember: God has already declared you righteous through faith in Jesus.

You could never bring home the gold. Every day you sin in thought, word, and deed. But Jesus did everything perfectly in your place.

Jesus stood in our place. He resisted for us. He obeyed for us. He suffered for us. He won for us. And heaven celebrates over us. So rejoice. The gold has been brought home - and it's yours.
