PARABLES (9) – By B.B. John
The Parable of the Pearl of Great Price is another kingdom's parable delivered by Christ Jesus. He compared the kingdom of heaven to a merchant who searched for fine pearls and, upon finding one pearl of great price, sold all he had and bought it.
God's Kingdom is of immense, incomparable, inestimable and exceptional value. Yeah, Christ is worth more than anything else in the world. Our membership of His kingdom requires pure willingness, radical sacrifice, and total commitment.
THE SYMBOLISM
1. THE MERCHANT represents a seeker. He stands for everyone that is searching for truth, meaning, and fulfillment in life.
Unlike the man who stumbled upon a hidden treasure (the gospel), the merchant is a seeker - searching with hunger until he finds Christ.
“You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13).
2. THE PEARLS symbolize philosophies, religions, and ambitions, among others. All these are but pearls of lesser values.
3. THE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE. This is unique priceless pearl stands for Christ and the eternal life in Him. It is rare, perfect, and most precious. This implies that the kingdom of Christ is the ultimate treasure we need to diligently seek for.
4. THE MERCHANT SELLING ALL HE HAD represents the cost of following Christ. It is a picture of total commitment - giving up everything to gain Christ. Though salvation is free but following Jesus requires surrender of self, sin, and worldly attachments. It costs you everything - all.
“I count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ.” (Phil. 3:8).
Have you surrender all to gain Christ? What is it that you are still holding back? It's high time you took a wise choice today and surrender to Him.
There's great joy in giving up everything. When the merchant did , he gained far more. Whatever we lose for Christ returns to us with richer infinite benefits - eternal life, peace, joy, diverse blessings, and a refreshing relationship with God.
Today, Christ invites you to take hold of the one pearl of great price, which is Himself.
