Jesus gave it all. Matthew 13:44-46 NLT

At a recent Bible Study, we were instructed to bring something we treasure to class. If it was large, take a picture of it. I took a small baby doll my grandmother had given me when I was about 5 years old. I've kept it safe for 50 years.
In the following two parables Jesus' love for us and the sacrifice He would make are explained in terms of a seeker and treasures. Jesus is the seeker and we are the treasures. Isn't that awesome? Jesus gave everything to purchase us and we are worth everything to Jesus.
All Jesus owned He carried with Him. He didn't have anything of material value. All He had to offer was His life. All He has to give is eternal life. All He wants is the greatest treasure. That greatest treasure is you.

Matthew 13:44-46 NLT
Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl
44 “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.
45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. 46 When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!
