Disciples demonstrate to others the value of the Kingdom

Jesus teaches that in his Kingdom, scribes reveal the ancient (point toward the Messiah) and the new (the revelation of the Messiah) treasures.  they bring it out of the storehouse for all to see.

Matthew 13:52 52 And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the master of a household who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old."

Do we ignore Jesus' teaching that we are to demonstrate - bring out of our treasure chest - into the world - the truths of Jesus?

Note:  Jesus has revealed himself in scripture.  He was always there (old treasure), but now he is revealed (new treasure).  This brings truth to light that the ancient prophets could never have understood in the way that we can.  The teachers in the Kingdom bring this out... not just through words, but by bringing it out of the treasure and demonstrating it.
