The “Exchange“

Would you exchange something worthless for something priceless? Who wouldn’t?
How about giving up your life that ends in death for eternal life that never ends? What would you pay for the privilege of living forever? From the beginning of time, man has tried to devise a way to live forever. Jesus wants to give you eternal life in exchange for your worthless life. Will you exchange this world and the death-causing sin that robs you of eternal life for everlasting life? Jesus came to give you the chance to make this “exchange”.
In order for you to see the need to “exchange” your life for eternal life, you must know the “end” of your life. You must understand the shortness of your life and the worthlessness of living for the things of this earth that do not bring love, joy, and peace to any person’s heart! Though this world promises you satisfaction and contentment, you begin to realize that nothing in this world truly satisfies you. You were created to walk with God; yet the cares of the world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things have hindered your walk with God.
Jesus wants you to think differently about the meaningless pleasures that keep you from the purpose for which He created you. Though these “things” promise you “life” and happiness, the end thereof are the ways of death as Proverbs 16:25 tells us,
“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
