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.  It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.  God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days.  1 Peter 1:18-20 NLT

It is amazing, we as individuals have an inheritance and its impact is describe as an empty life.  For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors.   For most of us it does seem that such things as gold or silver are somehow on most people’s minds and hopes.  If we can acquire a significant amount of these things we think we will experience the feelings of fulfillment. Yet, with all these things acquired all over the earth we still are full of emptiness whick looks life violence, immorality, brokenness and sadness. What possibly then could have more value than silver or gold?  Well, it was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God, God’s gift of grace.  Today let yourself live a life that has been redeemed by the grace of Jesus the Christ.  Ransomed by the blood of Christ is the declaration that you are loved now and for all eternity. God chose him as your ransom long before the world began, but he has now revealed him to you in these last days.  This is a good day to finally rest in what God has said he has done for you through Jesus Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.  Enjoy!
