What is the Kingdom of heaven really like?
In Matthew 13, Jesus gives us two parables that reveal the worth of the kingdom: it’s so valuable that it’s worth giving everything up in order to find it. The parable about the kingdom being like a treasure in a field and the parable about it being like a fine pearl are often seen as being two illustrations of the same message. However, I believe they both reveal a different, important aspect of the kingdom.
