Message of the Kingdom for the world.
We situate ourselves in the parable of the Pearl, found in the book of Matthew 13: 45-46.
It is about the representation of the Kingdom, based on a merchant who searches for the best pearls, and once he finds it, he sells everything he has and buys it. In this type of teaching, we find that it is about you, who is currently reading this paragraph. It is automatically understood that we have to evaluate ourselves by asking ourselves the following,
How much am I worth in the eyes of God?

There is a great answer that theologically expresses itself, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross of Calvary, and the detachment of the father of his only son in your favor. This is your value and mine.
The value of each of us is interpreted by the sacrifice of our parents, that is the price we have as the pearl that the merchant buys.
It is represented in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the separation of the son and the father, where he makes bad investments of all the paternal inheritance received, and soon remains in the ruin next to some pigs in their respective pigs. The common enemy that we have, represents the bad influences, so that he works psychologically and makes him see that he is a laborer. When he returns to his father's house, he is presented with that identity caused by his low self-esteem, but he receives him as a son, giving him honors.
This is what the enemy does when he decontextualizes us from our principles and values; It aims to become the lowest part of society. However, do not forget to remember that we have been bought at the price of blood, the highest value represented before the eyes of God.
I conclude by saying, you are not a day laborer, we are the legitimate Children of God, a pearl with great values that is still sought by Jesus Christ, our Lord.
