In today's Gospel reading from Matthew 13, Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. He likened the kingdom of heaven to a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and our of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Agains, he likened it to a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it. What these parable speak to me is that since I already know what the kingdom of heaven is like, I should be willing to part with all else I have, for not doing so amounts to dragging my feet on entering the kingdom of heaven.
