Sold

Judas sold his soul for thirty pieces of silver…. I wonder, what is the price for a soul these days??

Meaning of sold (sell) Transferring the property of a thing for a price or equivalent in money.

We located 101 verses that speak to the word sold.

As we embark on this Christmas Season the word sold came to my mind as I sat in my car in front of a group of retail stores...I sat there and just people watched... Many were bustling around, there seemed to be great excitement in the air.. I am not sure if the pace seemed fast because of excitement of the holiday or perhaps it was due to the cold weather... Many were taking great care in picking out the most beautiful tree on the lot. And soon a salesperson allowed the money to exchange hands and just like that the tree was sold....

With Christmas Music playing softly on my car radio, my mind soon drifted here.. This is the most amazing time of year... I for personal reasons love it!!! Because of a personal gift I received from my Creator!!

But then I thought it is so sad that so many people have bought into the commercialism of such a significant day... And my eyes welled up with tears and my heart became heavy.

So how and when did we lose our grip on what Christmas Day is truly about??

I feel it is a "Black ~~Friday~~ Day" when our main goal is to scurry into a store pick out a gift for our families and friends without asking ourselves if we are sold out to the Birthday Boy Himself?? What are we giving Him this year?? Have we bought into the most amazing LOVE we could ever receive?? It is no secret that we have already been bought for a price!! It is His priceless gift to all mankind...

Have you asked Him, What do You want for your Birthday???

Or is He even on your shopping list?? Stop and think about that for just a moment? Only you and your heart know the answer... I say...

Celebrate Him this Christmas by giving Him your LOVE... It truly is what He desires most!! Place Him at the top of your Christmas list today and forevermore.

1. Jesus

It's Him! It’s always Him!!!

Merry CHRISTmas... I pray you too become sold out for Jesus. It truly is where our treasure of life and love begins...

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19 -21ESV
