4 years ago a world record was set for the most expensive painting ever sold - allegedly Leonardo da Vinci's take on Jesus, called "Salvator Mundi" (Savior of the World).
It sold at auction for the staggering price of $450 million.
Before ever looking up who paid such a sum, we can deduce a few facts about them:
1) He/she is insanely wealthy
2) the painting held incredible value in their eyes, and
3) they had some purpose for the painting that motivated their purchase.
Now think about the subject of the painting.
John 3:16 tells us that God loved you, me, and everybody else so much that He gave His only begotten Son for our salvation.
All of the paintings, houses, and jewels in all the world could never hold a candle to the price He paid for us when Jesus came to this earth and went to the cross.
Just like the buyer of the painting, we can learn much about Him from His spending habits:
1) God is incredibly wealthy in the currency He spent.
Eph.
2:4ff Rich denotes an overflowing abundance - not lacking in any way
Rich in mercy
we were headed for ruin and we deserved the blow of the weight of our sin
God is merciful - does not give us what man deserves
Rich in love
- gave the greatest gift ever imaginable.
the giving of us one and only son.
rich in grace
God giving us what we do not deserve
v. 8 exceeding riches of his grace
rich in kindness
When we were his enemies and set ourselves up against God, he was kind.
When we were lost and alone in our sins he was kind in giving us his one and only son
2) He saw incredible value in you and me to pay such a price, and
the object of his richness is us.
God value you and me so much they gave the ultimate gift.
He gave everything for you and me.
The full weight of his riches he freely gave for you and me.
all of his mercy, grace, love, kindness wrapped up in one package for you.
3) has a purpose for that which He has purchased.
Eph.
2:10
good works that is our purpose.
We are to show the world God’s grace, mercy, love, & kindness by how we serve and live for him each day.
How we treat other people.
What kind of works are you doing for the Lord because of the grace, mercy, love, & kindness he has richly lavished upon you?
The value God has placed on your head is unfathomable, far beyond any $450 million painting.
He loves you more than you'll ever know, and He has a purpose for all those He has purchased by the blood of Christ.
