Today I was on FACEBOOK reading posts from friends I posted a quote from the book RADICAL by David Platt. I posted "How are you going to use your influence, your leadership, your resources in the world around you?" Questions or thoughts that make me think are priceless to me as I am left to ponder them all day!
Then, another post from a friend was displayed on my screen. All it said was Matthew 16-24-25. So being CURIOUS I looked the scripture up on my iPhone application. When I finished, I also read verse 26 as I was CURIOUS! Jesus is talking and says "For what is a man profited, if he gain the WHOLE world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exhange for his soul?"
Immediately I was STOPPED! I had read this passage many times in my life. What is MY soul worth? What would I give in exchange for my soul?
Many of you know that I experienced a BRAIN HEMORRAGE July 09. 2007. I was in a coma for 20 days and hospitalized for 59 days. The bills for the hospital stay came and insurance paid. The cost was paid by insurance. Had it not been, I would have been financially DEVASTATED!
The cost for my soul has been paid also! JESUS paid the debt for all my sins two thousand years ago on CALVARY! I did not deserve it, but HE paid it for me. I can make all the money in the world and not have enough to pay for my salvation. JESUS is the ONLY WAY!!
I think you and I both can never come close to repaying our debt to Him. You and I both were on deaths door steps when Jesus stepped in again for us.
