pearl in Matthew 7
PURL
This thing shows up in Matthew 7:6: ““Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Matthew 7:6
““Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”
What kids can learn
When you hear pearl in Matthew, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
