“Our True Treasure”

“… in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
[Colossians 1:14]

Now what is the treasure with which we have been redeemed? It is not perishable gold or silver; it is the precious blood of Christ, the Son of God. This treasure is so costly and noble that the mind and reason of no man can comprehend it. Just one drop of this innocent blood would have been more than enough for the sin of the whole world. Yet the Father wanted to pour out His grace on us so abundantly, and to spend so much, that He let His Son shed all His blood, and gave us the entire treasure. Therefore He does not want us to make light of, and think little, of such great grace; but He wants us to be moved to conduct ourselves with fear, lest this treasure be taken away from us.
