He sent His one and only Son



Psalm 8: 3 – 4

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the
stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him?

A rich man died one day, and this question was posed at his funeral….. “How
much did the old boy leave?” Then the answer came….. “He left it all!”

One thing we know for sure, God does not judge us by how much wealth we’ve
obtained in this life.

Somehow Americans introduce themselves that way at gatherings or parties.
“This is so-in-so, he or she manages this organization….” and so on.

The only real value we have, came at the expense paid at the cross, and what
Jesus did three days later at the tomb.

And so this morning, whether you have much or little, please remember how
valuable you are to God the Father.

He showed you as much, because He sent His one and only Son to redeem your
lost state.

Since God thought this much of you, shouldn’t we then put Him first in our
prayer life—our family life—our occupation.

Maybe we should put Him first, in everything we do?

“Father, today we remember that we have total dependence on You. Without you
we are nothing, but with Your precious Son we are sanctified.

Thank you for valuing me enough, to send Your Son to pay the debt of my
sin……”
