There is an old song that says, “Everlasting life. . . .everlasting life. . . .Everlasting life is free. . . . I’m so glad. . . .Jesus gave it to me. . . .Everlasting life is free! While it is true everlasting life is freely given to all who believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, we would do well to remember and often reflect upon the tremendous cost involved. “… it was our grief he bore, our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, for his own sins! But he was wounded and bruised for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace; he was lashed-and we were healed! We-every one of us-have strayed away like sheep! We, who left God's paths to follow our own. Yet God laid on him the guilt and sins of every one of us!” (Isa 53:4-6 TLB) Where would we be if Jesus had not willingly borne our sins. Oh how He loves you and me! What a wonderful Savior we have! Remember and reflect!

Prayer: Lord, when I consider your great sacrifice and the cost paid for my salvation, I can’t help but offer you the sacrifice of praise, with the fruit of my lips I will continually give thanks to your name! Amen.
Heb 13:12-15. . . . Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. KJV
