4.8.18 – “The gift of God was purchased at a
great price, more valuable than silver, gold or precious stones. We are blood
bought and not by anything that we are or have or do. There is a real effort
today to depict Jesus as a teacher and an example but more than anything else
He is the Savior, who came to take away the sins of the world! This gift is
free but not cheap. He was born to die so that we who are dead might have life
and have it more abundantly! We have nothing we can bring to the cross but us,
all our sin, all our guilt, all our shame, and all our pride. We give to Him
and He gives us forgiveness and salvation.” S. E. Trail
My prayer for you today is for you to
appreciate the price that was paid to purchase your pardon!
1 Peter 1:18 Forasmuch
as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain
conversation received by
tradition from your fathers 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of
a lamb without blemish and without spot: KJV
“Ethel’s daughter just had a baby and
Ethel was babysitting the newborn while the mother got some needed rest.
Many of Ethel’s friends come to visit and wanted to meet the newest member of
their family. When they asked to see the baby, Ethel says, "Not yet, wait
till the baby cries.” A little later they ask to see the baby again. Again
Ethel says, "Not yet, wait till the baby cries.” Finally they say,
"When can we see that baby?" And Ethel says, "I told you, when
the baby cries." And they ask, "Why do we have to wait until the baby cries?" Ethel replies, "Because
I forgot where I put it." ChristiansUnite.Com
