BABY is in one scale and the kittens are in the other. But baby weighs much more than the kittens. So the scale goes right down. And if three or four more kittens could be put on the other side, baby would still weigh more than they did.
But how many kittens is baby worth? How many kittens would mother take in exchange for baby?
O! those are questions which no one would try to answer. All the kittens in the world could not equal baby’s worth. And all the animals of every kind added to the kittens could not equal baby’s worth. Baby is worth more than a world.
The Lord Jesus asked,
The Lord Jesus loved us and came down from heaven. We were sinners and could not save ourselves, So He became a little baby boy, and when He had grown up to be a man, He went to a place called Calvary, and there He was crucified. And there God punished Him so that we might be free. And there He died for us.
O! what love His was. He was worth more than all of us—for He is the Mighty God as well as a Man. So He could save us. His blood is so precious that it can cleanse away all sin.
