The Parable may be interpreted in two ways:
1. It is the lost soul who finds Jesus, sells everything he has, and follows Christ with great joy.
2. The lost soul has nothing to sell; he is bankrupt. Rather, it is Christ who finds the pearl of great worth, which is the lost soul, sells everything He has, i.e., gives up His life on the cross for that soul, and goes off with great joy.
