Christ, in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden (Colossians 2:3), is ultimately the treasure hidden (or planted), in the field of our heart through faith (Ephesians 3:17). We find it, or rather Him, through the study of the scriptures, when we seek God in prayer and in many other ways as there are commandments. We actually buy this field, that is to say, we finally own our heart and Christ who dwells in it, when we uproot from it all the passions and distractions for material concerns (the selling of all that we have), as if thorns and thistles.
I like this one, too.
7 “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(2 Corinthians 4:7-10).
So yes; The treasure is Jesus (indeed).
