[.. Jesus is not for sale. It is Jesus that buys the pearl. ..]
You forget, the metaphor came from Jesus' own mouth.. It is HIS way of makeing "a Point".. not others ABOUT him.. What do have?.. money?, property?, concepts?, truths?, facts?, well SELL THEM.. SELL THEM to purchase the pearl of great price..
