Trail Mix - 4.8.19

April 8, 2019 – “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
