This very short parable, of the Pearl of Great Price, is only found in Matthew's gospel. As so often, the Lord uses something from the everyday to make a serious point about the kingdom of heaven. This is a simple illustration, but it tells us a lot about what it means to live under the reign of God. Here we see what it is like to discover and enter that kingdom.--Main Headings---1- We are not at rest-2- Some people can't recognise something of value-3- The 'stand out' pearl-4- Do not be satisfied with anything less
