For God so loved the world….. John 3:16

A teddy bear is a soft cuddly source of comfort. You can buy them for as little as a dollar or as this bear recently demonstrates, as much as $1725.00. Yes, this bear is very valuable. Someone was willing to pay a large sum of money to own it.

As precious as this bear is you are more valuable and a larger price has been paid for you. “For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16.

When sin entered the world the relationship with God was broken. He wants a relationship with us and there was only one way this could be accomplished. God sent His Son as a sacrifice to create a bridge that would bring us together. Jesus was born of a virgin, walked on this earth and told of God’s love. He died a horrific death on the cross. Yes, He could have saved himself, but He chose to complete the process to pay for the sins of you and of me. Death could not keep him. He rose from the grave and walked again among the people. He ascended into heaven where He sits at the right hand of God.

That is a high price to pay to you. But to God, you are worth it. The price of this salvation was paid and is now free to you. All you have to do is accept it.
