By definition, things that are valuable will spur people on to pursue them. If it’s worth something, people will give up something else to acquire it. The challenge is determining just how much something is worth. What are you willing to give up to get it? Jesus tells us that God finds value in things that others might not. He pursues things that others might dismiss, let go, or ignore altogether. In that, Jesus teaches us much about God, ourselves, and the good news of the gospel.
