The Value of the Kingdom

Scripture:

Matthew 13:45-46  "Again, the Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.  When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it".

Observation:

Jesus compared the Kingdom of heaven to a merchant who found a pearl that was so valuable that he decided to sell everything he had to go and buy it.  He is saying that God's kingdom is is worth whatever you have to pay for it.  It is worth the ultimate sacrifice.  It is more valuable than any other thing.  It is eternal.

Application:

We must value our relationship with Christ.  He paid the ultimate price for us.  What He offers us at salvation is worth the sacrifice of everything else in our lives.  You can't place a value on the Kingdom because nothing else even compares to it.  We have something more precious than we know and we should honor our relationship with God by giving Him our all.

Prayer:

Father, your kingdom is of the ultimate value.  You are worth everything to me and you paid the ultimate sacrifice by sending Your Son Jesus to die in my place.  Help me never take you for granted.  Thank you for working so strongly in my life lately and for blessing me supernaturally.  You are amazing!

Yours,
Jeff
