We were taught to believe that Jesus was the pearl, and we had to sell everything we had to obtain the pearl. But, I no longer believe that. I think Jesus was the buyer, and gave up everything to buy the pearl... us!<BR/><BR/>In fact, the story says that the buyer didn't just buy the pearl... he bought the entire field that held the pearl. So he doesn't only own us, but owns the whole world that holds us!brucedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839887792626090688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-246437973827092428.post-61816538836402729462007-11-29T21:39:00.000-05:002007-11-29T21:39:00.000-05:00Ah, the words "lonely journey" invoke a feeling th...Ah, the words "lonely journey" invoke a feeling that I am starting to know well.
