M. M. NINAN It is immediately apparent that the Pearl of Great Price is the Holy Spirit, who is the expounder of Truth. Jesus promised, "The counselor, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things." (John 14:17) "But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, he will bear witness to me" (John 15:26) "But when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the Truth" (John 16:13) The indication here therefore is about a Spirit filled Church. There is going to be a repeat performance of the days of Pentecost and the early church, when according to the prophecy of Joel, the spirit shall rain upon God’s elect, Act. 2: 17 "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 105
THE KINGDOM PARABLES 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. This repetition is to be expected because the Gentile period is coming to a close. This phenomenon of outpouring of the Spirit is going to be a a whole sale affair. Jesus is looking for pearls. Pearls are produced inside an oyster due to constant irritations produced by a grain of sand, It secretes a fluid which covers and gradually smoothens it out into a pearl. It is the picture of the believer who is a grain of sand - man made out of common earth, worldly in his soul outlook, sinful by nature. It is a great pain for Jesus. From the suffering of Jesus on the Cross of Calvary, the sinner is covered with the very blood so that he becomes a thing of beauty and joy for ever. It takes time for a pearl to be formed inside the oyster shell. Saints are not made overnight. It is the ongoing process of Christian growth that produce the Christian. Once it is formed, it converts ordinary light into myriads of shapes and colors. Pear is also indicative of the bride. As the bride is adorned with most expensive and beautiful pearls, so is the Church, the bride of the Lamb adorned with the Holy Spirit. 1 Peter 3: 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." "Rev. 21: 9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 106
