No one can redeem the life of another … the ransom for a life is costly. (Psalm 49:7–8)

Daily reading: 2 Samuel 22:26-5

How much is a person worth? Two Argentine brothers were once ransomed for $64 million. Yet when John Paul Getty III was kidnapped, his wealthy grandfather hesitated to pay, contributing only what was tax-deductible. His worth, it seems, was negotiable. The Bible tells a different story about your worth. It says no one can pay enough to save a soul.

But then comes the astonishing truth: God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us (Romans 5:8). Jesus gave His life—the ultimate price—to save ours. Not because we were good or deserving, but because He loves us. You are worth the blood of God’s own Son. No greater value could ever be placed on a life—yours. Will you receive that gift today?
