Every once in a while there comes along an opportunity that is so fabulous that it is too good to pass up. However, such opportunities often require us to give up all our other options and put all our eggs in one basket. In Matthew 13:44-46, Jesus told two very short parables about the kingdom of heaven. In each parable, a man seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, giving up everything for the sake of gaining very much more.
Even as he adapted his defense to the hostile Jewish audience, Paul did not shrink back from emphasizing that the gospel is for all...

We need to look again at the familiar story of Jesus’ birth to see the many connections with past promises and their coming fulfillment.
