556th Post Jesus Said Concerning Parables Con't. - Parable of Treasures Old and New - 1st Post Matthew 13: 52.

Parable of Treasures Old and New - Matthew 13: 52 - 1st Post.
Therefore every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out his treasure things new and old.
This was spoken by Jesus about 1 - 1.1/2 years into His earthly ministry.  It is part of a cluster of parables He told concerning the Kingdom of Heaven.  In the earlier ones we have been looking at, Jesus was using the parable to describe what the Kingdom of Heaven is and how precious the Way to the Kingdom of Heaven is.  Jesus is telling the teacher's of His Word, to make sure they are teaching the whole message, not just part of it.  The treasures "Old", are the Truths laid out in the Scriptures, starting with Moses in Genesis and going throughout the Old Testament.  The Treasures "New", are the Truths laid out by Jesus and His Apostles as recorded in the New Testament.  These are the treasures old and new.  Galatians 1: 8 -9 says: But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.  As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.  I am running out of space so will continue next post.
