IN SEARCH OF A GREAT TREASURE, Chapter 1 of Holy Priesthood Volume 6

Pages 1 to 11

For where your treasure is,

there will your heart be also. (Matt. 6:21)

Those seeking for a treasure spend time, effort, and means in order to secure that which is of great worth to them. To one person something may be a real treasure while it is only insignificant to another because their values are different. The old adage is true that “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Jesus gave the following two examples of the value that we should place on the kingdom of heaven:

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. (Matt. 13:44-46)
