Dear Friends,
Have you ever watched some of the antique shows on television. People bring in things that were left to them wondering what they are worth. Not much is the answer often. But every once in a while—! Today’s devotional point to the value of something which you may have that is exceedingly valuable. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,
John Janney

• Matthew 1:21 (ESV)

  21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”

• Matthew 13:44 (ESV)

  44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

“He that has found Christ Jesus to be his Savior has found more than he will ever find again, even though he find a heaven, since even heaven itself is in the loins of Christ, and he that getteth Jesus hath got an eternity of bliss in him. If God gave thee Christ, all else is small compared with the gift thou already hast.” [Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit LI, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1905), p. 135-136]
