Jesus teaches that when we understand the Kingdom's value, we will give up everything we have in exchange.
Matthew 13:45-46 45 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls; 46 on finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. "
Do we ignore Jesus' teaching that when we understand the value of the Kingdom, we realize that all we have is of little value comparred to living out the Kingdom?
Note: The other side of this is... if we aren't willing to give up all we have for the Kingdom, then what is it that we are not understanding? We should probably see this as a challenge to return to Jesus' teachings and figure out what we are missing - why we aren't willing to give up everything.
