Value

First of all we talked about sheep in youth group tonight, and well we are a group of fine looking sheep (inside joke)

Next I want to tell a story. The I re-worded some things so they make sense in the context of Christianity. There was a commander of an army, and there was a captured band of good for nothing beggars. The commander wanted to buy the men's freedom from another commander, but he would not part with them. Not for money, land or any other riches. Finally the commander said " I will give you my life in exchange for thee live of these men." The other man agreed. After words one of the men whose lives were saved came up and asked "why?" He replied. " What is the worth of a life?" The man said " A life is priceless." The commander said " So, what you are telling me is that I gave up something priceless that costs me nothing to gain a multitude of priceless things."
