“Then I said to them, “If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” And they weighed out as my wages thirty pieces of silver.”
Zechariah 11:12 (KJV)

The prophet Zechariah foretold the account of our Lord Jesus and that He would be given over for thirty pieces of silver.  This is what Jesus was worth to Judas who betrayed our Lord.  The price of a slave.

We work to protect and take care of our families and loved ones.  This is an honorable thing, it is a good thing. He is our example of honorable work. Psalm 113

This world measures our worth by our monetary value.  Bloomberg.com listed the top three richest people as Larry Ellison worth 259 billion dollars, Larry Page, 270 billion dollars and Elon Musk’s worth is 482.5 billion dollars.

All the riches of our Lord was given up, so we could have hope in the salvation given to us by Jesus. 

 “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9 (KJV)

What are you worth?  What does God say you are worth?  Your soul is worth more than all the riches of the world could possibly offer.

 ”For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:26 (KJV)

His gift to you, He gave everything for you.

What will you give to Him this Christmas?
