The treasure of Christianity was transported from God in heaven to us here on earth in a multi-legged journey. We can trace its route. First the treasure of Christianity was deposited into Jesus. From Jesus, the treasure of Christianity was transferred to a "bank" in the Valley of Tears. The "bank" in the Valley of Tears is the revelation that Jesus released into the Valley of Tears via the violent collision that took place on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. Incandescent truth erupted from the violent collision to illuminate the darkness of our understanding of God in a glorious burst of epiphany. Thence, into the most Holy Eucharist. Thence, into us. Thence, into our neighbors.
What is the treasure of Christianity?
The treasure of Christianity is the knowledge that God loves us dearly. Jesus was the treasure chest. Like a pirate, he buried the treasure on the road from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection. The violent collision was the key that opened the treasure chest. A ‘X’ marks the spot of the treasure.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" (Hosea 4:6). Therefore, fill the earth with the knowledge that God loves us as the waters cover the sea (Isaiah 11:9) (Habakkuk 2:14).
