There was a pearl merchant who travelled around the world collecting precious and big pearls. He heard about a pearl- diver in Tuticorin who possessed a very big pearl. He somehow wanted to take possession of it. He travelled to Tuticorin and met the man. He begged him to give the pearl to him promising to pay any amount.
The pearl-diver smiled a sad smile. “You cannot pay for it,” he said. “If you are very particular I can give it free to you.” “Oh no,” said the pearl merchant, “how can I take it from you for no cost? I will pay for it.” Then the pearl-diver explained why the pearl could not be paid for.
“My son was a pearl-diver. On the day he got this very precious and big pearl he dived very deep into the sea and got it. When he came up to the water’s surface he died because air bubbled up in his blood due to sudden release of pressure. This pearl was got at the price of my son’s life. How can you pay for it?” The pearl merchant accepted the free gift of the precious pearl from the man’s hand and thanked him profusely.
Salvation is a free gift of God. We cannot do anything to earn our salvation because the price paid was the very life of the Son of God. God wants us to accept His free gift gratefully
