JIM WALL



Good Morning!



A bored student at the University of Washington used an Internet auction site to sell his soul to the highest bidder.  As it turned out, the top offer was only $400.



Since the soul is immaterial, it can't be extracted from a body like a physical organ such as a heart.  The student had to admit, “I don't think the high bidder is going to be able to collect on my soul.”



That lighthearted offer calls to mind our Savior's serious question in Matthew 16:26, “What will a man give in exchange for his soul?”  As He challenged His listeners to think about a future day of judgment, Jesus said that the whole world fades in comparison to the valve of a soul.  Jesus died on the cross to pay the price to redeem us.  How much do you think you are worth to God?
