Stories of the Kingdom: The Parables of JesusSample

Parable of the Pearl
In Matthew 13:45-46, Jesus shares the parable of the pearl of great value. He describes a merchant who discovers a pearl of exceptional worth. Recognizing its value, the merchant sells all his possessions to acquire the pearl.
In what ways can we relate to the merchant's pursuit of the kingdom of heaven in our own lives?

About this Plan

Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
