To be like, to liken, to compare. The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When you find the kingdom everything else loses its value by comparison.

God. Theos. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The ultimate reality. The source of all existence. Personal knowable and present.

When Jesus teaches His disciples to pray, He begins with the most radical word imaginable — Father. In the ancient world, approaching God as Father was almost unthinkable. Jesus opens the door and says: this is how you come. Not as a subject before a king. As a child before a Father who already knows what you need.

Who, which, that, the one who. He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. God finishes what He starts.

Need, necessity, requirement. Chreía. God will supply every need according to his riches in glory. Bring your real needs before him. He meets them.

To have, to hold, to possess. I have learned in whatever state I am to be content. Contentment is not about having more but appreciating what you have.
