| The Cost |
| “Now is My soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour” (John 12:27). |
| Here we see the manhood of the Lord Jesus. As a man Jesus would say, “Father, save Me.” As God He would say, “But that’s why I came. I must go through with this. I am the only one who can pay the immense cost for sin.” And so He did. He paid it all in full on Calvary’s cross. Our salvation cost Jesus EVERYTHING. |
| “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” (Matthew 13:45-46). The Lord Jesus was the Merchant Man. He sold all that He had in order that we might be eternally blessed. |
| The Psalmist asked, “What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me?” (Psalm 116:12). He wants the return of our hearts in praise, worship and thanksgiving. Will you give Him that joy today? |
