Matthew 13:44-50. Unbelievable mercy to unbelievable sinners: You are the fine pearl of great value.

Rev. Kevin Parviz of Congregation Chai V'Shalom in St. Louis, Missouri joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 13:44-50. What is the treasure? What is the field? What is this pearl? Who is the man and merchant? The kingdom of heaven is always God doing the action. We look at these parables by putting on our Christ-goggles to see that He was the man who found us, the treasure and pearl, protected us, and He bought us by going to the cross with joy. “Lord Jesus Christ, by Your joy on the cross You declared us a treasure and fine pearl of great value. Grant us a joyful spirit to live in our vocations in confidence to love as You first loved us. In Your name. Amen”
