"This is the GOOD STUFF. I'm Giving you GOLD Right Now." Luke 10:23 (Episode #248)

Half way thru this little section, Jesus stops in a meta-moment and basically says to the disciples, "This is the GOOD STUFF.  I am giving you GOLD right now.  This is a treasure.  What you see and what you hear has been longed for for centuries, and you are getting it at this very moment".

I hope they took a deep breath in appreciation that, "their butts were in the buttertub" of spiritual history.  The Old Testament is kind of a TREASURE MAP.  The New Testament is what is buried beneath the "X". 

Therefore, with the Old Testament, we too get the treasure map and the clues and the fragments and the shadows.  And, with the New Testament, we too get the treasure of Jesus and His works.  Shortly, we find out about the Holy Spirit and His job of continual-treasure-revealing.  So, OUR BUTTS are also in the buttertub of revelation.

Listen and let's TREASURE(verb) the TREASURE(noun) that is this Father, Son and Spirit.
