OF Cyrus, the great King of the Persians, it is told that on one of his tours of conquests he captured a prince with his wife and children. When they were brought before him. he asked the prince “What will you give me if I set you free?”
“Half of my Kingdom,” was the answer.
“And if I set your children free?” “The whole of my Kingdom,” responded the ruler.
“And for your wife?”
“Myself!”
Cyrus was so pleased with the answer that he released the whole family without ransom.
Going home the prince said to his wife: “Isn’t Cyrus a noble and a fine looking man?”
“I have seen nobody but him who offered to give himself for rue as a ransom,” responded his wife.
Let us too, dear Christian reader, have only eyes for Jesus, who was not only willing to give himself as a ransom, but who HAS done so—redeemed our souls and brought us to God.
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus: who gave Himself a ransom for all.” 1 Tim. 2:5, 65For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (1 Timothy 2:5‑6).
