1903) As Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are approaching, I’m even more mindful of how much things cost. I remember a month or so ago; I was going to buy a piece of corned beef, to make my husband a New England boiled dinner and the cheapest cut was $38.00. I didn’t buy one.

The price tags are supposed to represent the value of the object, but not all of them do.

In 1 Corinthians 10:20, Paul tells us we have spiritual price tags and instead of numbers on it, there are four words, worthy of spiritual death.

This tag can mean at least two things. First, the person is flawed and makes repeated spiritually wrong choices, therefore; the tag says death or spiritual separation from God.

The second thing this tag can mean is the “buyer” values the person so much he is willing to pay the full price and die for them or in place of them.

This price tag does reflect such value. God himself was willing to suffer and die for us so we may spend eternity with him.  

We have a high price tag and, thank God, he was willing to pay for us.
