The Price of a Pollock

Tuesday, August 8, 2023

Jackson Pollock was a famous artist of the twentieth century. His paintings are worth a fortune. Some look like house painter rags that caught paint drippings; like what accidentally happened while he was trying to do something else. But they're worth millions. Why? Because people are willing to pay for them. What's your life worth? A fortune. Why? Because God was willing to pay a fortune for it. He gave the life of His Son for our life. Not because we're worth it, but because it makes us worth it. It makes us valuable, because we have a purchased life. When you own your own life, live your own life, it's worth nothing. But when you live a purchased life by God, it's worth everything. It doesn't matter if your life's a mess. The Jackson Pollock paintings are messes. But they're worth millions. Let God have your life, even if it's a mess. Owned by Him for His glory and His purposes, your life will become priceless. Live your life as fully belonging to God and His purposes. And your life will become precious, valuable and worth the very life of God.
