Interested in the Greatest Pearl…

Interested in the Greatest Pearl…

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

 

You ever heard good news before…such as this man Jesus describes…a merchant of the best (goodly) pearls…I have I have sought after all kinds of pearls in my life…but the greatest pearl…I have ever found was Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Acts 22:8)…with Him I got all the other pearls of life needed…

 

The Kingdom of Heaven…is worth more than you have.

God gives more than He takes…you cannot outgive God…this I believe…Pro 19:17 KJV  He that hath pity upon the poor lends unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will He pay him again. Jesus said in the new agreement between God and creation…The New Testament (Covenant…agreement)… Act 20:35 KJV …and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

 

Jesus gives you forgiveness…

Mat 9:11-13 KJV  And when the Pharisees (preachers) saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eats your Master with publicans (politicians) and sinners?  12  But when Jesus heard that, He said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.  13  But go ye and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

 

Jesus gives you truth…

Joh 8:31-32 KJV  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed;  32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…Joh 14:6 KJV  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

 

Jesus provides for your physical and spiritual needs…

Joh 6:35 KJV  And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst… Mat 6:30-34 KJV  Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?  31  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  32  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things.  33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

 

Jesus also said…

Mat 11:27-30 KJV  All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.  28  Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29  Take My yoke (teaching of truth) upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  30  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light…

 

Jesus said…

Mat 6:5-8 KJV  And when thou prays, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.  6  But thou, when thou prays, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which sees in secret shall reward thee openly.  7  But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.  8  Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knows what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him…

 

Jesus said…

Mat 7:7-14 KJV  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  8  For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.  9  Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?  10  Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?  11  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him?  12  Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.  13  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at:  14  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

 

Are you like the merchant man looking for greatest value you can find? This man dealt made his business to know the quality of a pearl…and Jesus uses his diligence as an example…he goes and immediately makes the pearl of greatest value his…Jesus is the greatest pearl you will find…will you be like the merchant man and act without delay and make Jesus yours by having your name written in the Lamb’s book of life? Yes or no?

 

Jesus after his death, burial, and resurrection…which proved Jesus is the Author of Salvation…as it is written…

Mar 16:14-20 KJV  Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen Him after he was risen.  15  And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.  16  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.  17  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;  18  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.  19  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.  20  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

 

Joh 3:16-17 KJV  For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved…Act 17:30-31 KJV  And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men everywhere to repent:  31  Because He hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead…Heb 5:8-9 KJV  Though he were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered;  9  And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him…

 

Will you like the merchant man obey without hesitation and with diligence…Jesus? Yes or no? Will you be baptized? Yes or no? Have you been baptized and want to reconcile? Yes or no? Heb 11:6 KJV  But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

 

 

Father please reveal the Truth we need to be reconciled and taken care of by Your only Son our Only Shepherd…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
