Topic: YOU ARE SPECIAL

Memory Verse: Luke 12:7 – But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:7
Bible Reading: 1 Peter 1:18-19

Message: The amount kidnappers ask for as ransom is proportionate with how important their victim is considered. The Bible says that we all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). It also says that those who sin are of their father the devil (John 8:44-45). This means that when God wanted to snatch us from the hands of the devil, He needed to provide a ransom. He is very rich so gold and silver are not a problem to Him at all. However, He deemed gold and Silver too cheap to use in paying our ransom because of how special we are. He sees you as so special that He sent His only Begotten Son, His very own Word, to redeem you and me.

The fact that He sent His Son to die so that you may have life, to shed His blood so that the devil cannot drink yours, to take multiple stripes on His body so that you would not be sick should be enough to make you walk around with your head held high because you are very special.

As long as you are a child of God, you are extremely special. He said in Isaiah 49:16 that He has a tattoo on his palm and that tattoo is your picture:

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me”.

In heaven, there are many angels. One of these angels can kill 185,000 men in one night; that is an ordinary angel. The Bible tells us that there is another category of angels that are strong (Revelation 5:2) – you can imagine how powerful those must be. Then there are the Arc Angels who stand before Him (Revelation 8:2). He did not decide to adopt any of the angels as His children, leaving them in the position of messengers; however, He loves you so much, He decided to adopt you as His child and the angels should be your messengers. 1 John 3:1 says:

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…

Even if it seems nobody in the world loves or values you, the King of the entire universe loves you with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3) and values you above angels and all His creations.
