"Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood" (Acts 20:28).
As you read this verse from God's Word, note its last few words: " ... which He purchased with His own blood." This is something we must never forget. Again and again, we need to be reminded of this: " ... which He purchased with His own blood." There's nothing special about us. There's something very special about Jesus Christ, our Saviour: "There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin. He, only, could unlock the gate of heaven and let us in." In all the service we offer to the Lord, we must never lose sight of this: He has done more for us than we could ever do for Him. We are called to be His faithful servants, but may we never forget this: our faithfulness can never begin to compare to the greater faithfulness of Jesus Christ, our faithful Saviour. How could our faithfulness to our Lord ever compare to this: " ... which He purchased with His own blood."

I quoted from the hymn, "There is a green hill." Here's a link to it:
This hymn is followed by "Great is Thy faithfulness." May you be blessed as ou listen to and sing along to these fine hymns.
