"The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when..."

The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when someone finds treasure hidden in a field and buries it again.  A person like that is happy and goes and sells everything in order to buy that field.

The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a shop owner is looking for fine pearls.  After finding a very valuable one, the owner goes and sells everything in order to buy that pearl.

                                                                                         Matthew 13:44-46
