MK 10:28 Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we have left everything and followed You.” MK 10:29 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, MK 10:30 but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life. Mark 10:28-30

MT 13:44 “ The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid again; and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. MT 13:45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, MT 13:46 and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it. Matthew 13:44-46
22
Surrender happens when we discover Jesus as our hidden treasure and our pearl of great price!
23
Our surrender is proportional to the degree that we see Jesus as the pearl of great price!
