The Value of the Kingdom
Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 13, verses 44-46 – The parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl.
44 ‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 45 ‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
