Back to the Bible Canada with Dr. John Neufeld

The life of faith that every believer walks is not easy. Jesus told us that we would have troubles in this world. Today Dr. John reminds us from Hebrews that we must hold on. Jesus is the power of our perseverence. He is the High Priest who understands our need and extends both mercy and grace. The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field. The story applies to Christ. Jesus is the supreme treasure, worthy of our full sacrifice. That conviction can be tested in difficult times. The Book of Hebrews is written to those under societal pressure, who are tempted to turn from the truth to their old ways. Listen as Dr. John teaches from the first four chapters of Hebrews, pointing to the incomparable worth of Jesus. He is the ultimate treasure. 

In a text that is familiar to many, Dr. John presents the power and effect of the Scriptures. The Bible we read is alive as the Voice of God, accomplishing His purpose, shaping and exposing the souls of all who read it. As we listen and obey His Word in faith, we enter into His rest.The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field.

A workaholic may intend to take a day off or to enjoy some respite, but often rest eludes them. They never get around to it. Dr. John reminds us that there is rest for the believer - a rest in the completed work of Jesus. We are cautioned to not harden our hearts but to strive to enter into the rest God has for us. The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field.

Rest can mean many things. A nap. Retirement. Silence. What does it mean for a believer? Dr. John teaches on the promise of rest from Hebrews 4. We'll find that rest for believers is a sharing of God's rest. It is the fruit of faith. The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field.

People are practiced at ignoring warnings. Speed limits. A doctor's counsel. Cautions at a cliff. We seem to think that we can take the risk and all will be fine. Dr. John points us to the warning from Hebrews regarding our soul. We are to "take care" of our hearts. God's warning comes from love and is meant for our eternal life.The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field.

A generation in Israel saw the glory of God on Mt Sinai, but they still refused God's Voice. In Jesus we see the greater glory; so we ought to take heed. Today Dr. John repeats the warning of Hebrews, "Do not harden your hearts." May we have sensitive souls to the commanding presence of God. The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field.

It seems that we have more celebrities than we do heroes. Fame and popularity seem larger in society than purpose and deliverance. Dr. John reminds us today that Moses was seen as Israel's hero - the law giver. But Jesus is the perfect lawkeeper and in doing so, He is more than famous. He is our hero. The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field. The story applies to Christ.

We may die differently, but we all die. It is inevitable for each one of us. That truth can generate fear for many. Dr. John points us to Jesus, who took upon Himself our humanity, even to the point of death. While Jesus  has not excused us from death, He has removed the sting and fear of it.The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field.

Families share common traits of appearance or personality. Today Dr. John teaches that as Jesus is called our "Brother", we share a family trait with Him. What do you and I have in common with Jesus? Let this message offer an encouraging answer. The Priceless Treasure of Jesus: Jesus once told a story about finding a treasure in a field and then selling everything you have to buy that field.
