"You were bought with a price," 1 Corinthians 6:20.
And at what a price! The cost of redemption. The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. A free gift to us, but at what price to God? In the Last Leaf the old artist gives hope of life to the dying young woman. She recovers, but at the cost of the painter's health. Our redemption was bought at a high price, but not to us. So we don't belong to ourselves. We belong to another who paid our price. So we yield to our master and live out life in our bodies to bring glory to God.
We meet with a brother or sister today in praise for our redeemer. And together we give thanks to God who paid the cost for our lives.
