"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls; when he finds one of great value he goes and sells everything he owns and buys it." (Matthew 13: 45 – 46)
Christ is the fine Pearl of great value. If we are genuinely searching for great value in life, our search will lead us sooner or later to Christ. 'Seek and you shall find." When we find this pearl, the price we pay for it is a true reflection of our estimation of the value. If we believe the pearl is the finest quality, then we shall sell all that we possess to buy it.
