The pursuit of the kingdom is not a waste of time. Being godly can be criticized by more modern cultures as being foolish, or not worthwhile. Jesus makes it clear for us through his parables in Matthew 13 that anyone who truly believes what he says about the kingdom should already be rejoicing in it. The promises are so full and so certain that, in the parables, people are willing to sell all of what they have for the Kingdom. To the rest of the world, the pearl might look just like a pearl, but we know that it is the secret to joy and peace.
