    What, then, do the parables teach? Church fathers such as Irenaeus and Augustine identified the treasure and the Pearl with Christ. The recent convert to Christianity says exactly the same thing: "I found Christ." Yes, it seems like we did find Christ.

    In his series of seven parables in Chapter 13, Matthew is quite elaborate ....... on the first two, providing an interpretation for each. The other five are shorter and more pointed in content. The parables of the hidden treasure and of the pearl consists of two sentences each. And in the ...read more

    Pearl-It’s the only gem that can’t be improved by man. You can cut and polish a diamond, ruby and other stones. BUT … if you begin to mess with a pearl, you ruin it. It’s perfect when it’s formed.

    The man who is searching for the pearls is, Jesus himself. "What other great treasure does God value in this world?" -- in order to discover what this pearl means. The church. Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, ... that he might present the church to himself in splendor, ...read more

    Simple parable. Or is it? I find myself wanting to ask Jesus some questions like “Who or What is the PEARL OF GREAT VALUE?” Are WE the pearl of great price and is it Christ who gives up everything to purchase us?

    God allows evil to grow side by side with good in order to give every person the opportunity to receive him and be a part of his kingdom, but the time for judgement and separation will be coming when the King returns.
