When it comes to pearls, big is not always beautiful. One giant baroque pearl weighed in at 93 grammes but a fine quality Persian Gulf pearl always commands the highest price. Jesus told a parable about a merchant seeking beautiful pearls. When he found one pearl of great price he went and sold his whole collection and bought it. [Matthew chapter 13 verses 45-46].
This parable is a picture of those who spend their money but never find satisfaction until they discover not a pearl but a person! His name is Jesus and He attracts by the lustre of His love displayed against the blackness of Calvary.
It's worth sacrificing everything to know the Saviour who sacrificed Himself for you. [See Isaiah chapter 55 verse 2].
