Cecil

I see what you mean Cecil. Some things are so obvious that we think the real treasure is hidden from us. God didn't hide his gift from us. We have overcomplicated the real message God has given. Love one another and Love our God. Just as the father of your story did not hold the true value of his rembrandt's at a higher esteem then the painting of his son.
The father new nothing could replace the love that he had for his son, just as our Lord values the love for his children. You and I
