Not A Fair Exchange

FEBRUARY 14, 2022
Daily Reading – Exodus 39-40 / Matthew 26:1-25

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 26:15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     Robert Van Kampen was a wealthy Christian man from Grand Haven, Mi. who built a Scriptorium. In this climate controlled underground vault, he cared for over 5,000 items he had purchased, including clay tablets, biblical manuscripts, and a blood-stained Bible. I was fortunate enough to see them before he passed, and all the items were moved to a museum in Florida.

    Of all the items I remember most the thirty pieces of silver they poured into my hands. It was not until they told me what I was holding that I realized the value. It was the price exchanged for my Saviour. I wept as I thought, how could anyone see these rough lumps of silver as a fair exchange? However, God gave more than silver; He gave His only Son for me.    

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

I ask again, how His Son can be a fair exchange
for my life?
