The Pearl of Great Value


"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45 The kingdom of heaven is more valuable than anything else we can have, and a person must be willing to give up everything to obtain it. The man who discovered the treasure in the field stumbled upon it by accident but knew its value when he found it. The merchant was earnestly searching for the pearl of great value, and, when he found it, he sold everything he had to purchase it. This is a lesson in majoring in main things. Put all that you have and all that you are in the one thing that really counts. In this life, and especially at this time of year, we are pulled many different ways with many different priorities. But always remember, there is only one that truly matters. Remember that Jesus is the reason for the season, God bless you, J.H.
