The
pearl of great price
Matthew
13:45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
46
Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that
he had, and bought it.
This is like unto the previous parable giving us yet another view of what the kingdom of heaven is like in that we know that Christ gave all He had, His very life, for each one of His precious children. We know too that pearls are valuable because of their immense beauty and command their price because of the amount of seeking it takes to find good ones. And so it is that each one who possesses the treasured knowledge hidden in Him, in His Word, and each one who seeks and finds the beautiful wisdom found in Him, is priceless to Him indeed.Matthew 13:45
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:[46] Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
So be wise and prudent with the greatest treasure of knowledge and priceless pearls of wisdom that one can ever find in this world. And remember Christ's teaching in Matthew 7:6 to "give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you." You see, swine will take your precious pearls and trample all over them in an attempt to rob you of your wealth and richness. Let have them their evil spirits and wallow in their filth for we know that which is unclean shall be completely separated from that which is clean, even as the next parable explains.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
