What does it mean to discover the pearl of great price? And how is grace often misunderstood in our spiritually perilous times?
Grace represents far more than divine permission – it's divine inspiration to the heart. When we're knocked down by life's challenges or our own mistakes, grace lifts us up and redirects us toward truth embodied in Jesus Christ. In today's message, we examine how God's pursuit of us through grace works in our lives, often making us feel like we've discovered Him when He's been pursuing us all along.
Two powerful parables from Matthew 13 reveal how those who truly find God's kingdom respond – they don't simply add Jesus to their collection of treasures but recognize Him as the pearl of great price worth selling everything else for. This stands in stark contrast to those who pervert grace into permission for continued sinfulness, treating Jesus merely as a Savior who rescues without requiring lordship.
The scene at Calvary provides perhaps the most vivid picture of genuine grace in action. Two criminals hung beside Jesus – one demanding salvation on his terms, the other humbly repenting and acknowledging Christ's authority. Only one heard those beautiful words: "Today you will be with me in paradise." As spiritual deception accelerates in our technological age, with AI creating increasingly convincing counterfeits of trusted voices, the need for biblical discernment grows ever more critical. Don't merely be a follower; be a disciple grounded in God's Word. The King is coming – will He find faith on the earth when He returns?
