《The price of saving souls》
(1 Corinthians 6:19, 20)
(…) These days, in an era where the economy is a priority, I like to judge the price of anything. When they see a new car, they ask how much it cost, and when they see a house, they ask how much it costs. They say it cost 24.9 billion to rescue the lives of 33 people buried 700 meters underground in Chile, how much compensation or donations they will receive, and who has benefited the most from this case? However, they do not think about the future blessings that the saints who have been saved by the blood of Jesus will receive or the treatment they receive in the kingdom of heaven. It doesn't matter what the sacrifice God made to save us and the ransom of the Lord was or how great it was.
① He paid the price of forsaking the glory of heaven and coming into the world. (…) Although Jesus is omnipotent and omnipresent and has omnipresent authority, he forsook the heavenly throne and came in the form of a servant who has neither name nor light, and came in human form.(…) The Lord has brought us from the abyss of sin to a place of glory. He gave up the glory of heaven and came to this earth to take him.(…)
② He paid the price in his battle with Satan. (…) Satan put Jesus through three temptations. The Lord did not compromise with the devil. You scolded me and beat me. We need to know that the same tempter tempts those who want to do God's work. We must pay the price to win the battle against the devil.(…)
③ He paid the price of living a lonely life.(…) The Lord's life was a lonely and lonely life. Jesus borrowed a virgin womb. Born in a borrowed stable, preached on a borrowed boat, buried in a borrowed tomb, and borrowed the shoulder of Simon Cyrene. When the Lord was in the world, he had no children or families. There was no property. The blessings and happiness of the world were not allowed.(…) His loneliness and solitude paid the price for us.
