Parables Of Jesus
Matthew 13:44 King James Version (KJV)
44. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.

This parable illustrates the value of the heavenly treasure, and the effort that should be made to secure it. The finder of the treasure in the field was ready to part with all that he had, ready to put forth untiring labor, in order to secure the hidden riches.

Explanation of The Bible Parable - Goodly pearls -
Matthew 13:45-46 King James Version (KJV)
45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:

The merchantman represents a class who were sincerely desiring truth... The merchantman bought it at the price of all that he had...
We are to give ourselves to Christ, to live a life of willing obedience to all His requirements. All that we are, all the talents and capabilities we possess, are the Lord's, to be consecrated to His service. When we thus give ourselves wholly to Him, Christ, with all the treasures of heaven, gives Himself to us. We obtain the pearl of great price. Taken from Christ's Object Lessons, by EGW, pg 116.
