Have You Received God’s Son?

PRAY OVER THIS

“I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

John 10:9-10

 

PONDER THIS

During the Second World War, a very wealthy man with a rare art collection had a son in the Royal Air Force. Unfortunately, the son was shot down in flames and died, leaving this man with no other descendants. When the man died, he instructed that there be an auction for his collection. The art collectors came from all over, ready to bid. And the auctioneer said, “First of all, we’re going to auction one painting.” It was a painting of a man. It was the wealthy man’s son, the one who died. To the art collectors, it was valueless, and nobody bid. But an old friend of the family, who knew the boy and had seen him grow up, thought it would be nice to have a painting of that lad. And he bid on it.

There was no other bid. The auctioneer said, “Do I hear any other bids? Very well, it is sold to this individual.” And then he said, “The auction is over.” They said, “No, there are other paintings.” He said, “No. The will states that whoever buys this picture gets the entire collection. Whoever gets the son gets all the rest.” Friend, I want to tell you, God has a Son, and when you get Jesus, you get it all.

How do you remind yourself daily of the value of Jesus?

What are some of the blessings you have experienced because of Jesus?

Talk to a friend and share how you have seen the value of Jesus.
