Risks of Faith

The Gospel message is that choices must be made, and they must be made now.  But examples of the treasure in a field or pearl found at the market may not suffice.  They may be too obvious.  The finder of the treasure and buyer of the pearl knew what they had.  With the kingdom of God there is no such knowledge.  There is only faith.  The believer throws his net hoping to come up with something, but he is never really sure.  He does not know until he has brought it in, and even then he may not really know.
