Hello! Happy Thanksgiving this week and every
week!
Tonight @ 7:00 at WATTERSON TRAIL
CHURCH OF CHRIST at 9609 Watterson Trail in beautiful Jeffersontown, Kentucky we
will be having a very special combined Bible study session, everyone together
thinking about the four things Jesus asks of those who want to follow Him: 1) _______ yourself, 2) bear your ________,
3) ___________ Jesus, and 4) don’t be ___________ of Jesus. We will then discuss just what it means to do
these four things.
We will then ask ourselves if it
is really “worth it” to do what Jesus asks us to do and learn about the
definition of “worth” or “value.” How
can one determine the “value” or “worth” of something? Value or worth can be determined by the
following characteristics:
Age – Is it new? Is it old?
How old? Is it just “old” or is
it “classic” or an “antique?”
Duration – What of its
quality? Will it last? Will it hold its value or worth?
Brand – Some things are
valuable or have a high worth due to the brand.
Time and Effort Involved – Consider
the worth or value of a doctor, a lawyer, a professor, an athlete, a musician,
etc. and why.
Supply and Demand – Why is gold
so expensive? And nurses, just apply and
start to work. Why? A painting was recently sold at auction for
more than $80 million. Why?
Intrinsic Value – Why is your
grandmother’s old “whatever” worth so much to you? And why is a set of items often worth more
than the value of individual items?
Jesus is worth it. Worth whatever I have to think, say, or do in
my life. He is ageless, timeless, one of
a kind, gave everything He had for me, supplies my every need now and forever,
and His value is beyond my thoughts or imagination.
You are worth it, too. If your value could be calculated, you’d be
worth more than all the world. Jesus
said so in Matthew 16:26
“For what profit is it to a man,
if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his
soul?”
Come and join us at 7:00 for a
spirited discussion. And be thankful.
