Life Precious or Cheap?

" Since man is made in the image of God, then the takeing of a man's life is the destruction of the most
precious and the most holy thing in the world."
--- The Plain Man's Guide to Ethics, by William Barclay....

' The most precious thing in the world.' Do you share that view of life?
From the way people behave, it is obvious that many do not agree with that writer.
Millions of lives have been callously snuffed out by violent people who pursued selfish goals without
any regard for the well-being of their fellowman.--- Ecclesiates 8:9

How Precious Is Your Life?

Jesus Christ stated: " Do not two sparrows sell for a coin of small value?
Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's knowledge.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Therefore have no fear:
you are worth more then many sparrows." -- Matthew 10:29-31...

Notice that Jesus did not say that God will simply be aware of what happened to the sparrows and to men.
He said: " You are worth more than many sparrows.
" Why are you worth more?

Because you are made" in God's image"--with the potential for cultivating and displaying moral, intellectual,
and spiritual qualities that reflect God's own elevated qualities. ----- Genesis 1:26,27...
