In the ancient world… pearls were incredibly valuable. In fact… pearls were often considered more precious than gold. Kings and queens desired them. And many people throughout the world… sought after them… because they were symbols of wealth… and beauty. And merchants… dealing in pearls… would travel far and wide…across seas… and deserts… looking for the finest pearls… the world had to offer! Now what we have here…is a story of a priceless pearl. A merchant man…who loves pearls…travels the world around…and then he finds that One…Great…Priceless…Precious …Pearl. And this man sells everything He HAS…in order to buy that One…Great…Priceless…Precious… Pearl! And Jesus said, "This is a parable…of the Kingdom…of Heaven!"
