 (Fourth part) 

Memory verse (1Pet1: 18-19): " knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot "

The price of a commodity reveals its value. Things in the market place don’t cost the same because they don’t have the same value. Valuable things are costly and worthless things are cheap. God bought you and me from the marketplace of sin not with silver, not with gold or any other price, he bought us with the blood of his sinless, spotless, eternal and holy Son of God. Nothing in heaven, on earth and under the earth compare in value and quality to the blood of the Son God, Jesus Christ.

Temporary things could not buy an eternal commodity, i.e. your soul. Only the eternal blood of JESUS could buy our eternal spirits and book us a place in God’s eternal kingdom. My beloved, you are a valuable person in God’s eyes. You are a valuable being in God’s kingdom. All demons know this, they once had God’s glory and honor but lost it through pride and rebellion that Satan led them into. Don’t take yourself cheap. Never compare your value by the standards of this world. The things of this world do not determine your value, because you are not of this world.

Perhaps people have been calling you all sorts of things. Rejoice my brother and sister, the world does not know who you are. They don’t even know whose you are. The king of Kings walked for 33 years on the earth and He wanted to know whether the world that saw him daily knew who he was, some said he was Elijah, other John the Baptist, while other thought he was simply one of the prophets. They mocked Jesus, they wanted to stone him, they falsely accused him, some said he had demons, others said he was sinful. But these things did not bother Jesus, he went ahead to fulfill his purpose. He knew who he was and he never let anything or anyone to make him cheap. He kept his standard, he kept declaring to all skeptic and critics that he was the Son of God. The whole world might never believe who you are but just go ahead and believe who you are in Christ, celebrate and rejoice in who you are, hallelujah!

Tomorrow’s subject: “ focus on who have chosen you ”
