P.K.’s Corner
1 Corinthians 6:20 “For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God with you body!”
“Honey, we need to pay for some things at the school.” My wife said to me as I was getting ready to go to the office. It turns out that in order for my kids to participate in the activities of school, certain things must be paid for, T-shirts, bus fare, miscellaneous sales items and clothing to match the team. It seems every time I turn around, there is another cost to having 3 kids in school. Don’t get me started on the other bills, payments and costs that keep going up in this “growing” economy. If you ask me the only thing growing is the cost of living, and soon even air will be sold at a premium.
But, then I try to look at things in perspective, and I ask myself, “What is the true price I would be willing to pay for my children, or for my neighbor?’ I realize that all the money in the world does not compare to the price God paid for my freedom. When I think of Jesus paying the ultimate price so that I could be free of sin and death, then the bills and the dues and the costs seem trivial. For you see, I have been redeemed by blood and I am now a free child of God.
Yeah, times are tough, but were it not for the redeeming sacrifice of Jesus Christ, times would get a lot tougher. We have been bought with a price, a price none of us could afford, and yet the redeemed are stamped “Paid in full”
Thank you Jesus.
Amen
