The Pearl of Great Price
Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, July 28, 2024 @ 9:15 AM
Rev. E. Nicholas Van Gombos
Readings: Psalm 105:1-6 and Matthew 13:44-46
“The Stories of Jesus: Then and Now” continue to get our attention
through this summer. Among all of Jesus’ stories it’s often the shortest and simplest which can give us pause. Matthew 13. 44-46, passes on two such parables back to back, about a treasure found in a field, and a pearl of great value. The one is a kind of lead in to the other, prompting us to first ponder the possibility of surprising grace – and then stew on what we most highly value. Is it things, or is it relationships – people?
Hope you may join as we reflect on the question: What is my ‘Pearl of Great Price?’
