Parable of Pearl of Great Price

Matthew 13:45,46 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking beautiful pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

The merchant man is Jesus Christ who came to purchase, through his atonement, sinners who shall become beautiful pearls. The one pearl of great price is the church for whom Christ gave his life, that is, all that he had. If the pearl is Christ or the kingdom , for whom a man must give all in order to obtain, then no one has ever yet given all that he has for Christ. While we receive Him as Savior, we also progressively continue surrendering areas of ourselves to Him as we come to know better His will for our lives.
