1 Corinthians 9:18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in my
preaching I may make the gospel free of charge, not making full use of
my right in the gospel.
Over the past few weeks we have been caring for the English Bulldog
puppies and all six of them have shown distinctive traits and their
loving natures. Now comes the crunch when you have to sell them. You
just cannot sell them, as they are registered with all the KUSA
requirements and the price to a certain extent is controlled by the
value placed on them by organisations such as the Bulldog Club. But no
matter the price, it is hard to see them go to other homes.
In some ways when we preach and teach the Gospel it is like giving
somebody else something precious, which cost Jesus Christ all, just so
that we might be able to bring His salvation to others. I wonder how
many people realise how precious is the gift of life that Jesus has
given us. So no matter how precious the message we are never able to put
a price on it, because Jesus gave it to us free, so we freely give it
to others. we cannot put a price on it like puppies, but we are able to
be aware that it cost Jesus His suffering and life.
Be encouraged today to be aware that the Gospel is not for sale.
David
Point to ponder: The Gospel is for free.
Question to consider: To whom have you given the Gospel?
