Sunday 15 September 2024 – Your Value
Good day,
Some have fought hard for freedom only to lose it after achieving it. Some have given their all to the acquisition of money but hated it and themselves after. Some have dedicated their lives to being the best at something only to achieve this and lose themselves in drugs, sex, or food. I could go on and on and on. I will say to the person who is still on one of those broad roads, that, help is on the way in the form of the risen Lamb. To the one who is feeling empty lost and useless, your value is beyond money!
Imagine you own a cow and that cow got out of your pasture and went into your neighbour’s. Imagine the restitution required by your neighbour is the life of your cow. Hear is the question as the owner, what would you do? Maybe you would pay for damages, apologise sincerely…..In the extreme case, maybe even sell the cow just so it doesn’t happen and to appease the neighbour.
Let me say this that at no point would you tell the neighbour to take your life for the cow you own. As a matter of fact, that is just rather foolish for there would be a lot of beef to go around some would reason.
To put it into context, now do you see what Jesus has done for you and me? It is not supposed to work the way it has worked for us. We are the ones who should die not Jesus…yet, Jesus died He gave His life to set us free.
If that isn’t love then the ocean is dry.
Have a Christ centered day.
