When a man found it, he hid it again, and in his joy, he went and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls. When he found one very precious pearl, he went away and sold all he had and bought it. <strong>Matthew 13:44-46.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And, behold, one came and said unto Jesus, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?\u00a0 And Jesus said unto him, Why do you call Me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if you would enter into life, keep the commandments.\u00a0 He said unto Jesus, Which? Jesus said, you shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, Honour your father and your mother: and, you shall love your\u00a0 neighbour as\u00a0 yourself. The young man said unto Jesus, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what is it that I still lack?\u00a0 Jesus said unto him, If you would be perfect, go and sell that you have and give to the poor, and you shall have<strong> treasure in heaven:<\/strong> and come and follow Me.<strong> Matthew 19:16-21.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And when Jesus was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to Him, and asked, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?\u00a0 And Jesus said unto him, Why do you call Me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. You know the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.\u00a0\u00a0And he answered and said unto Jesus, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing you lack, go thy way, sell whatsoever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have<strong> treasure in heaven<\/strong>: and come, take up the cross, and follow Me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. <strong>Mark 10:17-22.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And Jesus spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room wherein to store my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater, and there I will store all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take then your ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, you fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided? So is he that lays up<strong> treasure for himself<\/strong>, but is not rich toward God. <strong>Luke 12 :16-21.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust corrupts, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
