Who Purchased this Treasure?

Reading: Matt. 13:44, Acts 20:28, John 3:16, John 15:13,

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure
that a man discovered hidden in a field.
In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned
to get enough money to buy the field".
Matthew 13:44 NLT

The treasure of the Kingdom is so amazing, that if we could just somehow comprehend the breadth of the wealth of the Kingdom; that we would sell every thing we have to possess the Kingdom. But there is another way to look at this. Consider that Jesus was the purchaser who gave His all to secure the Kingdom for us and to reconcile us to God. The book of Acts says  

"Feed and shepherd God's flock-His own church,  
purchased with His own blood.
Acts 20:28 NLT  

In His own words:  

"For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."
" There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends."
John 3:16, 15:13 NLT

Not only is the Kingdom worth all we have or could give; 
but Jesus gave His all to share the Kingdom with us. 
Thank You, Lord.
