Matthew 13:46 (NASB20)
and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold everything that he had and bought it.
Luke 10:42 (NASB20)
but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The pearl being the thing that Mary found…. But what is it that is being called this pearl that if found, is worth all things…?
It is the will to obedience, being that thing of great value that is worth all to be in possession of…. If so, how then did this will to obedience manifest itself in Mary’s life….? Scripture says; ‘Mary chose to set at Jesus’s feet and learn of Him’, this will to obedience that Mary chose is the same will we are all called to, it being the pearl that is worth all…. Though it is true this pearl produces fruit of its own, no fruit that is true fruit, will grow without it, for one will only find oneself a debater of scriptural words, but Christ not being formed in one’s innermost being….
So what therefore is this sitting at Jesus’s feet to do that Christ might be formed in one..?
It is a turning from self-hood, that being in other words; a resignation to God in one’s innermost being… For repentance is turning from something to something, Christian repentance, is a turning from self-hood to Christ, which in truth is a turning from the carnal to the spiritual by the faith of the heart…. Though one cannot sit at Jesus’s feet in the physical anymore, one can, should, and must sit at Jesus’s feet in the heart….But how and what is meant by sitting at Jesus’s feet in the heart…?
It is recognizing and embracing what the salvation of Christ consists of, it is an embracing of it, a grabbing onto it and a holding fast to it, which all transpires in one’s innermost being where one’s own-will meets Jesus… There, it is a reckoning of own will dead in the heart of heart’s, that Christ might live His will to righteousness in one’s life…
Because Jesus did die, and the believing soul with Him, that that believing soul might walk in newness of life by the faith produced by the pearl….
To the pearl and the fruit thereof, Not me
