this one i can answer without a second thought or hesitation --
Christ is the one who gave everything, and purchased me -- every bit of me, in order to procure what He discerns in me to be treasure. His faithful ones are the pearl of great value, and He is the Merchant on the lookout for choice pearls
This sounds so nice, but its not what it means.
The field is Eden, the heavens world for mankind. The treasure that he found was revelations from GOD, the Words from GOD which are divine, Eucharstic Revelations that contains GOD's genetic substance, that reveals secrets about the kingdom...
So by Revelations the man discovered Eden, the Man discovered how life is there, how the transfigured body is, how the kingdom is, who the rulers of the kingdom are, the Family tree of Mankind, and much more about heaven and the systems of the celestial heavens worlds.
And what he sold to purchase that field is the mortal body that he took from the his biological mothers womb.

Let me explain a little further. Perhaps i have not been explaining things well enough.
Lets look at the question that someone asked Jesus His Pre-Eminence.
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
This has been badly misinterpreted over the years because the children of the kingdom have not known the Gospel that Jesus His Pre-Eminence preached.
The man who asked HIM is a jew. And he said he has kept the law all throughout his youth. Jesus His Pre-Eminence says, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell all you have, give to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me.
If thou wilt be perfect - Only man is perfect in his perfect state.
Sell all you have - Everything you have is your physical body. When you came into this earth, all you had that is yours is your physical body. To understand this, you need to understand that you are a Spirit Being, you are not your body. GOD speaks from that height. You took body from the womb of your biological mother. You got dressed in the womb where you put on your garment.
So when GOD said this, HE is speaking from the Spirit point. That is why HE said you shall have treasures in heaven. So HE told the man to sell all his mortal endowments for the celestial endowments (meaning the transfigured body), preach the Gospel of everlasting life, and follow HIM. Where did HE go? HE ascended to heaven.
Give to the poor - Preach the Gospel of Ever lasting life to the children of the kingdom which are poor in Spirit.
The man did not understand what Jesus His Pre-Eminence was saying. He thought it means all his goods, its not true. The rich man that cannot enter into heaven is pointing to tares. Why? Because tares are not in a fallen state. Tares are in their exalted state wearing mortal body. So for them, the mortal body is their glorified state. Thus, a tare is a rich man in this earth. The Child of the kingdom is a poor man, because the body he has is his fallen state..
Then if you look at John 3, you will see that Nicodemus didn't ask a question. But Jesus His Pre-Eminence responded like he did. And it was by night that nicodemus came to Jesus His Pre-Eminence. So what was the question that Nicodemus asked?
1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
9Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
It was the question asked that day: Good master, what good thing shall i do that i may have eternal life. Nicodemus came back that night to hear about that message that Jesus His Pre-Eminence preached. Think about it for a second, this is a nation of people that held the Laws of Moses in the highest regard. And Jesus His Pre-Eminence was telling them that the Law is not enough.
This has been further misunderstood by the churches that preach faith and grace, and Christ Crucified. That they saw this as an evidence that they don't need to keep the Law. Yet that is now what Jesus His Pre-Eminence was saying. HE was telling them the same message that saul preached in 1 Cor 15: 50-56
that is why HE said things like: Ye shall pick up serpents and they shall not harm you. Ye shall lay hands on the sick and they shall be healed. (that has to do with how the immortal celestial body can heal the sick just by laying of hands because the immortal body has the regeneration system. And this is not the transfigured body yet, this is the same kind of body that Jesus His Pre-Eminence had after HE resurrected HIMSELF. Ye shall cast out devils in my name, if someone hits you on the left cheek, turn the other cheek to them also. These are things that the Immortal body can do. It is not for mortals to do them.
And the big one, Greater than these shall ye do. What is that? Its living without dying at all. It is preaching the message and dropping the scales from the eyes of the children of the kingdom so that they run their race to immortality in life. It is transfiguring the earth. The people just thought it means they will do the same things. And even those things are fabricated. It is Unjust for GOD to heal as HE did 2000 years ago because they crucified HIM.
Maybe i still haven't explained this well enough yet.
