This Black Friday, there will be lots of focus on reduced prices. The idea is that you can get something of high value for lower price -- you're focused on the value you obtain for the price. Something that was unappealing at higher cost is now far more interesting due to the lower cost.
It's funny to think of God flipping through ads from the Sunday newspaper, each page displaying a different person, and God deciding what price to pay to ransom us. Thankfully, that's not how the process went. God didn't wait for us to go on sale. God knew that the cost to ransom us was more than silver or gold, but God didn't hesitate, even though the cost was the life of Jesus Christ. God was willing to pay any price, because God values you as worth it.
So this week, whenever you see an ad, think of God placing a supreme value on you, loving you enough to pay for you with the precious blood of Christ. May the non-stop commercial bombardment of this season be a reminder to you of God's amazing love.
