John Richardson read Psalm 49 vs.1-20, 1 Peter 1 vs.17-23, and Psalm 116 vs.12-19.
1/ (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)
2/ But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
3/ Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
1/Psalm 49 starts with a call to pay attention.
Why because we all have the same certainties. It is appointed unto man once to die.
But we have different destinations. after death the judgement.
No one can buy redemption it is precious very costly. It doesn't matter who we are rich or poor, clever or not, big house or small etc. etc.
The Psalm is addressed to all people its about truth and life, God is Love, God is Holy. We are sinners and there will be the judgement at the Great White Throne and then the Lake of Fire.
But there is a way to be saved through the love of God.
2/ Through the precious blood of Christ God has put in place a way of Salvation through His Son (God the Son) the Holy One gave Himself as a sacrifice and shed His Precious blood at Calvary.
There is no need to continue to sacrifice animals as His Sacrifice is sufficient for us. We all fall short of God's standard but He is our substitute He died for us we deserved that death. We need to repent and accept God's Son. Then we have a living hope and He keeps us in that hope.
3/ We are precious to God we can't understand why but we are and particularly as His people we are precious to Him in life and in death when we go to be with our Saviour.
So trust Christ now and have that living hope and enjoy the precious things God has for us in Christ.
