The Parables of Jesus: Matthew 13: 45-46
45"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
Would you give up everything for the greatest treasure imaginable? Christ gave up everything for you so that you may inherit his kingdom, it wasn’t enough that he saved you from going to hell and died for every sin you have committed or ever will. He also loves you so much that he decided that you would inherit the greatest kingdom there ever was. In this parable a man sells everything he owns for a valuable pearl. It is amazing that Christ doesn’t ask this of us , cause he could, but instead chooses to bless you beyond compare not only with earthly possessions but treasures in heaven. If that isn’t enough to convince you to live every day for him I don’t know what will no one else I know has ever promised me a kingdom.
