What the kingdom is like
The Pearl of Great Price
Also called The Merchant and the Pearl
A merchant finds one perfect pearl and sells his whole inventory to buy it.
What it turns on
He was already looking. Unlike the man in the field, this one was searching on purpose.
45“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
