Twice More
A Young boy made a beautiful toy sailboat and took it to a lake to sail, but a gust of wind blew the boat out into the lake. The boat was lost. Several weeks later, the boy saw his sailboat in the window of a toy store. When he asked for his boat, the store owner said,
"I own the sailboat now. If you want it you will have to buy it back."
The boy sold all he had to buy back his boat. After paying the store owner, the boy took his boat to his heart and said, "Little boat, you are twice mine, I made you, and now I brought you."
Like that little boat, we are twice the Lord's - He made us, and Christ bought us back by paying the price for our sin with his own blood. After His death, Jesus rose from the grave and returned to Heaven. He is alive today and offers us the gift of eternal life with Him.
It is the desire of my heart that you would know how great God's love is for you, and that you would receive His Gift by asking Him to be the Lord of your life.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
(John 3:16 NIV) |
