Pearl

This week, our study of Matthew weaves through the parables of the mustard seed, yeast, man who finds the treasure in the field, merchant who finds the rare pearls, and the fish net.

Many stories convey the unchanging and compelling purpose of Christ's message, to proclaim the Truth. Of the many things to look at , this one is so dear: the worth of salvation is priceless, to deny it is misery, but to embrace it . . .

And this is what I love especially. . .

How Jesus Christ gave up His life for His Bride, His Pearl.
How He sought her and bought her, as the man who found the treasure in the field.
How He gave up everything, so that we might be saved.
What a Redeemer, who becomes our Precious Treasure, Our Priceless Pearl.

Hi There :) My name is Amy, honored to be called the Daughter of the High King, the wife to a wonderful Christian Husband for four years, and mother to a precious daughter. Though we are settled in a place where we'd never thought we'd be, we find ourselves overwhelmingly blessed by God with friends, a loving church, and even a little piece of my family here (my parents)! God has most surely been gracious and good to us, and we live to praise Him! Thanks for stopping by!
