Power-Ups

2 Comments » | Posted by chevas

Consider the following two parables spoken by Jesus:

    The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Matthew 13:44

    Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Matthew 13:45-46

Both people in the parables are looking for something. Remember, “seek, and you will find?” What treasure are we after? If we do find treasure, do we understand its significance or have the cajones to sacrifice everything for it?

Consider these hidden “treasures”: The Kingdom of Heaven is the P-Wing of power-ups, the Ashbringer, the the Super-Smash Ball, the BFG9000, the seven chaos-emeralds, the Masmune sword, the Covenant Elite Energy Sword, Warmonger Sword of Borel, The Master Sword, the super gravity gun. The Kingdom of Heaven is like turning on the hacks, it’s overpowered. If you don’t understand any of these “treasures”, you probably haven’t played their respective games and you’d probably not succeed. That’s okay, they’re just video games.

In the context of describing His Father’s house, Jesus says: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - John 14:6. And there’s your overpowered epic drop for this life. The Kingdom of Heaven is here.
