Absolutly.. What a gem? what a process?.. A priceless thing brought forth from the pain of a living organism.. So like the spirit growing and developing in us, in our bodies. How could a fair price be negotiated for all the pain and discomfort.. Whatever the price... its NOT enough.. Jesus Spirit being born of the same kind of process only most severe.. is a wonderful hope and encouragement..
In this metaphor and object lesson and reality Jesus went through it and the "Body of Christ" is going though the same process.. Amazing thing "the Pearl of Great Price".. maybe it could be said.. the PEARLS of great price.. since the spirit/Spirit is distributed, the same spirit.. announcing oneness.. and at one ment.. to all creation..
The word of god is living and operable to the dividing of soul and spirit.. to a pearl-like essence..
Is God COOL or WHAT?..
No wonder pearls were chosen for the gates in New Jerusalem!
And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass. - Revelation 21:21
But it said he found one pearl of great price.
