Alex tightly gripped the twenty dollar bill as his mom drove him to the store on a warm Saturday afternoon.He had received the money on his eighth birthday, and he couldn’t wait to get to the store to buy that toy he had wanted for so long.
Alex’s heart started beating faster as he saw it sitting on the shelf. But his excitement quickly turned to disappointment when he realized it would take every last cent he had. When his mom saw the look on his face she said, “How much is it worth to you?”
Maybe you have never asked yourself the question, “How much am I worth?” But God has. He bought you at a price (1 Cor. 6:20), and He decided that you are worth the price of His Son’s life. Jesus gave up everything He had in heaven, became one of the created, suffered, died a horrible death, and paid the price with His blood because He says you are worth it.
