The Ultimate Price

The Ultimate Price

The ultimate price is sacrifice
And Jesus paid the ultimate price.
He gave His life for you and me
So we won’t have to pay the penalty
For sin that stains the lives of men;
And the Father will welcome us in
To the home He’s prepared above
Made possible by our Savior’s love.
I now live my life as a sacrifice.
Because he paid the ultimate price.

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. -
1 John 3:1

As children mature they begin to realize the true love of their parents and understand what it means to honor them. As we think of the Father’s love in making us a part of His Family, we remember the price He gave in the form of Jesus. When we partake of a small taste of unleavened bread each Lord’s Day, we realize the sacrifice made for us. The body of God’s Son took my place to pay the price of sin that I owed. It’s difficult for me to grasp that sometimes.

In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. - 1 John 4:9

To know Jesus is to know the love of God. To think of the blood He gave in His death as we take a small drink of grape juice during the Lord’s Supper, should cause us to realize the great price He paid for us to have that privilege. The blood it represents was shed to cleanse me. It was given to wash my sins away.

(God) made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him. - 2 Corinthians 5:21

Oh, what a savior! He made the ultimate sacrifice.


See you when the saints meet, Lord willing.
