I Know What it Cost

Listen from:
Two gentlemen were riding past a beautiful park. The one said to the other,
“How much do you think this estate is worth?”
“I don’t know how much it is worth,” was the answer; “but I know what it cost the late owner of it.”
“How much?”
His soul,” was the startling reply. “The owner of it died a wretched death, stating on his deathbed that all his misery was due to his love of money, which had often led him into fraud and sin.”
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36, 3736For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36‑37).
