The greatest advocates for change, might be happier with what they have, if they had
to give all they had to obtain it.

• Our mothers suffer to bring a life into the world.
• Our soldiers risk life and limb to keep us free.

• Our police officers risk all to keep us safe.
• Our firefighters risk all to save lives and property.

• Our Lord gave His life, and suffered more than them all, to
purchase the greatest treasures we possess:

Eternal Life

The Holy Comforter
The freedom to pray
The right to plead our cause to the King

The resurrection to eternal glory

All priceless, but all bought with a price. How great was the purchase, of these which
were given us so freely; and what power and love was on display. Power which none
can prevent nor limit, when our great God stretches forth His hand to us; yet how

tender are His givings, and quiet His visits in the morning, for when we know His
love is there, we only can rise in it with joy; as in thanksgiving for the rains which fell

from heaven while we yet lay in the darkness.

Arise ! Go forth! The light has come! Rejoice in the Lord!
