Bob’s Thoughts...
BOUGHT WITH A PRICE
“You are bought with a price; therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” I Corinthians 6:20
But what was the price? Who paid it? Jesus did. Christ paid the price, and bought you! The exchange rate was astronomical. It cost Him His life. That’s what the cross is all about. Christ paid the ultimate price for you and me; He died for us. He sacrificed His own precious life to pay the price for our sins and deliver us from Satan’s dominion. But that’s not all; then, God raised us up together with Him so that we might live with Him forevermore! You are God’s pos-session by virtue of redemption. Now you belong to Him. You’re His prize possession, and He is glad to have you. Just think, we were spiritually dead; our life had been ruined by the degradation and the corruption of sin. We were damaged goods and worthless in the eyes of the world. But to the Lord, we were worth dying for. He proved it by going to the Cross with our sins. He restored us to be whole in Him. That’s why Christ is known as our Savior and Lord. He is our life, our all. Now, who is Christ to you? Do you remember to thank Him for being your Savior? He paid the ultimate price for you. Christ gave His life for you so that He could live His life through you. But it requires an exchange. We must exchange our life for His. We must pick up our cross and follow after Him. Our life, in exchange for His life. Have you made the exchange yet? If you will trust in Him, He will provide for you. You are bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Have a Great Week!
Bob

All participating children will paired up with new Watchman for the next two-year cycle. Of course, if you have been a Watchman, the new cycle doesn't mean you can't continue your relationship with your current child! It just means your "family" is expanding!
