VALUED-No Expense Spared

Phil 2:5-AMP -Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] 6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, 7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. 8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!
Why would God send HIS ONLY SON into this world?
Why would Jesus, the Son of God, leave the glory and splendor of Heaven
To become the Son of man?
THERE IS NO OTHER REASON THAN THIS…..ME
The value of something doesn’t come from what IT IS, the value comes from what someone is willing to give for it
Example: the veggie tale ship What happens when they stop making something?
The value didn’t come from what IT was, the value came from what someone is willing to give for it out of their desire to have it
John 3:16 kjv For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God’s not making another YOU. HE paid the most COSTLY PRICE
1 Cor 6:20 For ye are bought with a price (value): therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
That price was out of VALUE, not out of worthiness
