YOUR CHOICE YOUR PRICE TAG

And what shall it profit a person to eat the whole world and loose his own soul. The economist talk about opportunity cost and the sacrificed alternative. This is a situation where you just can’t have both choices, it’s one or the other. When Paul was sailing to Malta and the storm was heavy, they could not keep cargo and the souls, one or the other had to be sacrificed. They chose to throw out all the weight of cargo to save the souls.

The lock down of nations is an opportunity cost, sacrifice business activities and save human lives from the pandemic. In the eternal perspective there is a choice to be made, an opportunity cost to incur an alternative to sacrifice. Keep the cargo and all the weight of the world at the expense of losing your soul. Let us throw off all the weight and sin that entangle us and run the race of salvation Hebrews 12:2-4:

Esau chose bean stew at the cost of his inheritance, Judas chose 33 pieces of silver to sell his soul, Moses sacrificed the pleasures of the World to identify with God’s people, Paul counted all his gains as loss choosing to know God.

When the lock down was announced my wife and I could not enter any supermarket because people were super busy shopping. My daughter told me Dad you cannot believe the “hot cake” now is toilet papers, they are getting stocked out. People stocking food know very well that much of it will get out as waste product. Let us stock up for eternity and eat Gods word. Don’t you know that you were bought by a price and your bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit 1 Cor 6:19. The life of the righteous son of God sacrificed for you, what a price tag you bear, make choices consummate to that tag, throw away all weight and sin, your soul is priceless!
