The Kingdom of Heaven is like… Weeds in a wheat field (damned interlopers) A mustard seed (that grows in my backyard) Yeast hidden in dough (set it aside in a warm spot to rise) One pearl of great value (get it now for the low low cost of everything you own) The Kingdom of Heaven is like… A treasure you’d give up everything for (everything?) Everything everything What would you give up everything for? Have you? Given up everything?
