The Kingdom of God

John mentioned 3 parables that Jesus told from Matthew chapter 13. One was about a treasure hidden in a field, one was about a pearl of great value, and one was about fish. How ridiculous does it sound to sell every single posession just for a "treasure" or a "pearl"? Do we have that kind of passion for our own relationship with God?

How ridiculous does it sound that God "sold" everything he had (he became human - heaven came to earth) to be in a relationship with you? That you are God's "treasure" that Jesus Christ has "purchased" through his blood (perhaps it was the evil one who owned the world, but he was not aware of the great value you are to God)?
