Great Value ...

Monday, Sept 3, 2018. What is of great value to you? Recently I had a discussion with my bank advisor, and the people suggested various investments for my savings. How can you make the most of what you have? What do you want with your money? When do you need it?

The treasure, the pearl …

When you have friends, or when you are in love with someone, you realize that all what might be of value to you is nothing compared to that particular friend or person. You are happy to give a lot of treasures, just to be with him or her, just to spend time with her, to speak, to enjoy, to exchange about life, about work, about sorrows or the joy of life!

What is of value? The bible tells us that God himself is fantastic, even better that the best experience we have with friends or with human love. God and his kingdom is a great treasure, it is a great pearl, it is beyond measure in terms of our human riches and values!

In the Gospel of Matthew Jesus tells two parables about this treasure, have a look into chapter 13:

44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it. (Matthew 13, 44-45)
