About The Pearl of Great Price
In a single breath of a story, Jesus described a merchant who spent his days searching for fine pearls — and one day found one so extraordinary that he went and sold everything he had to buy it. The parable sits in Matthew 13 alongside a handful of other short parables about the Kingdom of Heaven, each one a small, luminous window into what truly matters. Pearls in the ancient world were among the most prized of all treasures, formed slowly in secret beneath the sea — a fitting image for something of hidden, boundless worth.
