“.….. darkness fell across
the whole land…..” Luke
23:44 (NLT)
Father, yesterday was Black
Friday and there were supper sales all over the place, people standing in line
for hours to make the best buy. My heart and mind goes back to the
original Black Friday, 2000 years ago, when the best buy of all time was
purchased at an infinite price.
The Apostle Peter
reminds us: “For you know that God paid a
ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And
the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver. 19 It was the
precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.” 1
Peter 1:18-19 (NLT)
Father, in the darkness
on that day so long ago Your Son paid the price of the greatest gift ever
offered to the human race. Colossians
1:13-14 (NLT) says it so well: “….he has
rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of
his dear Son, 14 who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins."
Indeed Father, that was the best buy ever and all who trust in Jesus for their salvation will
be eternally grateful.
Amen
