Mateus 13

Mateus 13

Morgan - I need hardly stay to say that I do not accept the interpretation of the parable which regards the pearl of great price as the Saviour, and the merchant seeking and selling all to obtain the pearl, as the sinner. Such an interpretation, as we have already seen, contradicts the whole scheme of the teaching, and is out of harmony with all the facts of experience. (But then Morgan launches into a major allegorical interpretation to refer to the pearl as the church!) Grant Richison - The “hidden treasure” refers to the godly remnant of Israel during the earthly ministry of Jesus and to believers throughout the interim present kingdom until the Second Coming. The godly remnant of Israel has been scattered throughout the world during the interim present kingdom. The “man” here is Jesus. He will find the believing remnant throughout the world at His Second Coming. Christ gave everything He had to purchase the world (field). As owner He holds the right of redemption. At His Second Coming Jesus will claim His right over the believing remnant. Warren
