The Price of a Worm

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood (Acts 20:28).

The price of our redemption was so vast, because of the nature of our sin. We sinned against the infinite God, and therefore the price is infinite. The penalty fit the crime. That God would pay it speaks of the infinite nature of His love for His sheep. 1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God . . . How much we are worth has nothing to do with it.

We are the dust of the balance (Isaiah 40:15), less than nothing and vanity (Isaiah 40:17). Christ did not redeem us because we were worth it, because He was getting a good deal. If a human soul is priceless, then the wonder of all wonders (why would the holy God give His precious Son for such a wretch as I?) is solved and rendered moot. There was nothing in us to attract His love or merit such a sacrifice. That’s what the word “freely” means, “without a cause,” that is, without a reason in us. Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

When the Lord asks the question: “what shall a man profit, if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?” This speaks of what we would lose, not what He would lose. God could put me in Hell where I deserve to go and lose exactly nothing. But . . .

He redeemed us, though worthless, vile, wretched and dead, because of something in Himself. Infinite, free, sovereign, eternal, immutable love. Certainly we are precious, priceless to Him, but this does not indicate our worth, but His, not our value, but His, not our excellence, but His, not because of something He saw in us, but because of something in Himself. He bought a worm, at the price of His own precious, sin-atoning blood. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound.
