Matthew 13: 45-52- Lesson in Repetition
Read Matthew 13: 45- 52- As I read through these parables, I am struck by the repetitive nature of the stories. Why did Jesus give different stories of the same value of heaven? This is an emphasis on something Jesus knew was extremely important. In verses 4 5 and 46 Jesus gives another example, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.” I need to take this to heart. Jesus wants people to know the value of a life with Him. It is personal and powerful. As we previously read, there is a joy that comes from a life with Jesus Christ. I need to not forget thi s chapter with repetitive examples of the value of heaven is something that is important and should be shared.
