For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to your from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.   1 Peter 1:18-20

It is amazing what we as individual put value on, all of which impact the direction of our lives.  It does seem that perishable things such as silver or gold are somehow on most people’s minds and if we can acquire a significant amount of these things we think we will personally feel we have more value.  Yet we all these things acquired all over the earth we still are full of violence, immorality and brokenness.  What possibly then could have more value than these things?  Well, to the Lord we are more valuable than these things and we have been redeemed, refreshed and renewed with that, which is imperishable, the precious blood of Christ, God’s gift of grace.  Today may you know that you have been redeemed by the grace of Jesus the Christ.  Redeemed by the blood of Christ is the declaration that you are loved now and for all eternity.  This is a good day to finally rest in what God has said he has done in you through Jesus the Christ.  Enjoy!
