Love gives Value
"Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for -
1 Peter 2:24

All of us are very familiar with wars and famines. When we look a little deep into it, we find that innocent soldiers are down there giving their lives in front of a bullet. Recalling the recently fought wars like the Gulf war, Kargil war in India and the recent Iraq war, we see the same destiny of our beloved soldiers, they are the brothers of some, the son of a parent, a husband, a father and so on. They are there to save their nation and the people of their country from death. They value their nation more then their lives... "A MERE SACRIFICE".
In this sense, lets go centuries behind, where we see JESUS ...NAILED ON THE CROSS. That was intended for us. We were born in sin and " THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH" ( Romans 6:23). Because of God's Great Love, the Son of God became man, lived without sinning and took our penalty by dying on the cross ( 1 Peter 3:18 ). Because JESUS died, we can have "ETERNAL LIFE"
Do you, my dear friend, have this "LIFE", if not put your faith in CHRIST today. Then you too will be able to say, "NO ONE HAS EVER VALUED ME MORE".
"Christ died for me - what blessed words
He bore my guilt one day
No greater price has ever been paid
Then when He took my sins away..."
