One of my favorite shows on TV is Antique Roadshow. I am fascinated that the things of my childhood are now considered antiques. Of course I watch the entire program waiting for that one item that brings thousands of dollars. I once watched an episode that featured a piece of furniture that was "priceless". Oh, how I wished I had found that in my attic or bought it from a garage sale. It was one of a kind! In my reading a few days ago, I read the criteria for discovering the worth of an item.
1. Who made it?
2. How many are there like it?
3. What is someone willing to pay for it?
As I looked around the house, I found nothing that would be worth too much at all to anyone except me. There was things made in the USA, Indonesia and China but nothing that had the mark of a famous person. Not many things was one of a kind but was mass produced and nothing had a big price tag. The only antique, was me. But...the bible says I am priceless!
Let me explain. When I asked myself "who made me" of course the answer is God, the Father, the creator of everything. How many are there like me? None! Do I hear some amens from the peanut gallery? What was someone willing to pay? God gave his one and only Son for whoever believes in Him. Jesus paid the ultimate price for us with His life so that we may have eternal life.
One of my favorite cups says "Grandmas are antique little girls" and I'm proud to say I am, but even if you are not an antique, you are still PRICELESS!
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16 NLT)
