-
Mary
was very special to God
-
Unique
and different
-
God
would never like to lose you
-
God
would do everything in His power to make you His own!
Isaiah 43:4
“Because you are precious in MY SIGHT,
and honored, and I love you,
I give people in return for you,
nations in exchange for your life.”
-
What is your price?
-
How precious are you?
-
Depends on the persons looking – oneself, parents,
friends, enemies, etc
- But, how precious are you to God?
What could your exchange
value?
Value of any object / the commodity is measured according to the EXCHANGE VALUE – the price paid to buy and
own it!
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple[f] of the Holy Spirit within you, which you
have from God, and that you are not your own? For YOU WERE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE;
therefore glorify God in your body.”
1 Peter 1:18-19
“You know that you were ransomed from the futile ways
inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or
gold, 19 but with the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, like that of a lamb
without defect or blemish.”
You might wonder, there
are billions of people on the face of the earth, many have gone ahead and still
billions and billions are to come!
Who am I that God should
worry about me?
-
God treats persons individually and not crowds /
groups
Previous episodes
– the Predestination, created – by God in His own image and likeness FORMED in
your mother’s womb……
God FORMING
denotes INDIVIDUALITY and not crowds!
Luke 12:1-12
v. 7 “But EVEN THE HAIRS OF YOUR HEAD are all counted. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many
sparrows.”
-
Special
place in the Heart of God
Isiah
49:15-16
“Can a woman forget her
nursing child,
or show no compassion for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will not forget you.
See, I have INSCRIBED you on the palms of my
hands.”
-
No
one can replace you and vice versa
Mary and
you
- Mary was chosen for your sake – to redeem you!
- Your greatness is hidden in Mary’s greatness
- Your specialty in hers
- Your value in hers
Questions to reflect:
- What's your value in the eyes of your dear ones?
- What's your value in your own eyes?
- What can you give in exchange for your life?
- What's your feeling about it?
- Can you accept it?
- What would you do to own this reality that YOU ARE PRECIOUS TO GOD?
