What does that mean? How is the church a product of suffering? Pastor Terry continues to explain in his message today that Jesus suffered for you on the cross. He created the church when he died and rose again, so the church, and you, are like a pearl that Jesus values greatly, because it came at a high cost. You are not an accident. You are not forgotten. Jesus values you like a pearl or treasure. Reflect on that truth today and see yourself through the eyes of the One who gave His life for you.
