In Matt 13:44-46, Jesus uses two small stories to teach us about the surpassing value of the kingdom of heaven. Jesus compares the kingdom to a hidden treasure and a costly pearl. Both parables make the same point - If we value the kingdom of heaven as priceless, we will gladly give up everything to be part of this kingdom. However, our giving up is only a fraction in comparison to what we receive from Jesus.
