JOURNEY WITH MARY
Episode No. 3 Special and Precious to God
YOU = JESUS is the exchange value in the sight of God!
- 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 44:4
“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?
