BABY is in one scale, and the kittens are in the other. But the baby weighs much more than the kittens. So the scale goes right down. I wonder how many kittens on top of one another would be needed to equal baby in weight?
But how many kittens is baby worth? How many kittens would mother take in exchange for baby?
Oh those are questions which no one would try to answer. All the kittens in the world could not equal baby’s worth. Baby is worth more than all the world.
The Lord Jesus loved us and came down from heaven. We were sinners and could not save ourselves. So He became a little babe in Bethlehem’s manger, and when He had grown up to be a man He went to a place called Calvary, and there He was crucified. There He bore our sins in His own body on the tree. There God punished Him in our stead, so that we might go free. There He died for us.
Oh! what love was His! His precious blood can cleanse away all sin. Do you know this verse?
“HE WAS WOUNDED
FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS,
HE WAS BRUISED
FOR OUR INIQUITIES:
THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR
PEACE
WAS UPON HIM;
AND WITH HIS STRIPES
WE ARE HEALED.”
