Psalm 49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, Nor give to God a ransom for him

How much is a human life worth? Try put a cost on a life! You will come up with various figures as you compare different scenarios and compare people against the world and wealth…

But how far would you be willing to go to save a life or even to make someone happy? Again we would all come up with different figures!

What sort of ransom would you be willing to pay to release your parents from captivity?

Jesus saw what we faced and He came forward to give everything for us – that is how much He loves us!

Psalm 49:6 Those who trust in their wealth And boast in the multitude of their riches,

Have you ever looked at the cost of an expensive piece of jewellery and wondered how anyone could afford it? Well it would not be on sale if there was not someone who could buy it!

But what about adding all of the jewellery in the shop together? Then it stretches even the richest people…

But none of that can ever come close to the cost Christ has placed on our heads; The government may try to put a cost on people for their own accounting; but Christ does not!

God loves us that much!

1 Corinthians 1:29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.

Ever wondered why God seems to make decisions we don’t expect or uses miracles to get our attention?

Despite Him giving us His word and showing us throughout history just how awesome He is; we still seem to need convincing!

God wants us to understand no matter how much we think we can do, He is able to do and does do so much more.

The glory for everything in our world need to go to our maker and our God; not us!

1 Corinthians 1:28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are,

Have you ever wondered why there are so many strange Christians in this world? Well take a cross section of humanity and see how many strange people you find!

God may well choose the strangest people to lead to make the biggest impact on people’s lives. He may well take extraordinary events to use them to make people stop and take notice.

God is wise enough and powerful enough to use whatever is necessary to make sure we wake up and take notice!
