Destiny and Value of the Kingdom (Part 2)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this piece, Steve Gregg discusses the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price, exploring the themes of sacrifice, discipleship, and the value of the kingdom of God. He notes that both parables highlight the need for individuals to forsake their worldly possessions in order to obtain the treasure or pearl, and emphasizes the idea that these possessions are not truly owned but rather stewarded. Gregg also suggests that the parable of the dragnet may refer to the church and the evangelism net used to bring in new believers. Overall, his discussion provides thought-provoking insights into the messages conveyed by these parables.
