On 6/9/10, I was out with a very good friend of mine on a lunch break. We were at our usual Chinese restaurant ordering our usual meals. For him, it was the Happy Family no soup with extra eggroll and a coke. And for me, Shrimps and Scallops with vegetables no eggroll with extra soup and an ice tea for a drink. We had our usual discussions on different topics from the Bible. And as usual, a lunch break is never long enough to actually finish a topic.
It was time to break open our fortune cookies and this is what I got:
The Best Things in Life are Free
Right after reading the “fortune” inside the cookie, it quickly reminded me how true it is: The best things in life are free. We take for granted so many things in life that are freely given to us: the air to breathe, the sun in the morning, hugs from our children after work, good morning kisses from our spouses, quite times spent alone with our Creator, etc. But the greatest free gift of all is our salvation through Jesus Christ. Our heavenly Father who loves us gave us the ultimate free gift of eternal life to those who believe in His son. The Bible says:
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life – John 3:16
Make no mistake about it; our salvation is free to those who believe in Jesus Christ because our heavenly Father paid the ultimate price – the sacrificial death of His Son Jesus Christ.
