Final unit of 3 parables: Buried Treasure – Magnificent Pearl – Separating Fish in Net Every single person in this room will have either Treasure or Torment I.Treasure 2 parables: why 2? What is the difference? a) treasure accidentally discovered b) pearl was intensely sought after God captures some people off guard, others after a diligent search II. Torment See the everyday picture of separating fish from a dragnet Why is this added after the Treasure & Pearl? It is so similar to the Weeds parable; why repeat? a) it is a contrast to Treasure & Pearl: life not just getting or missing out on the Treasure of the Kingdom; the contrast is far more stark than that; b) ends with a final warning for emphasis! Treasure or Torment—for every single person who hears my voice And it is almost sure that not everyone listening will be in Heaven Come while you still have a chance! Invitations of 11:28-30 and 12:48-50 Warning to heed in 13:47-50
