“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.”
When we find what we are looking for
–Christ—we no longer have a need to search any more, only a need to follow.
Like the pearl merchant, there is nothing else that should hold so great a pull
on our lives as our pearl of great value –the Kingdom of Heaven—so that we are
unwilling to give up all we have to obtain it. It is our greatest treasure, our
perfect prize that we are looking for, so why, when we have found it, when we
have been promised Heaven when we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, do we
look for our identity elsewhere? Our entire identity should be found in Christ
and in Christ alone.
