Typically, access to valuable things is restricted to those with the most power/wealth/resources. The reason some paintings sell for hundreds of millions of dollars is because there is usually only one of them, and the scarcity pushes up the price, and the one with the most resources wins.
What's amazing about the truth of the Gospel is that it's available to all, regardless of resources. In many cases, the more resources you have, the harder it is to see the truth of the Gospel, because it's hard to admit that you need anything when you seem to have everything you need. Scripture is amazing in pointing us to this truth -- that the rulers of the age may completely miss the most valuable thing, while those with the least resources may possess the greatest treasure of all.
