The Price of God

Sunday, July 21, 2024

The Gospels tell of the temple priests paying Judas thirty pieces of silver to obtain Messiah. Zechariah 11 prophesied that the sign of Israel's rejection of their God would be 30 pieces of silver. Those 30 pieces weren't just given as a betrayal payment, but as the price of God. That's how much He was worth to them. How much do you value God? What's your life saying about how much God is worth? Do you give Him some tithes, some praise, some moments of worship, or some obedience of His will over your will? If you're only giving Him what you can do without anyway, then you're giving Him your leftovers. The value of God is everything and His worth is more than anything you have. In fact, He's worth more than everything you have. So give Him everything and don't hold back. God considered you to be worth His very life. He gave it to save you. The least you can do is to consider His life worth your own. Give Him your best and your life will be filled with His best. That's the value of God.
