The price of sugar!!

Today I went to the store to buy some groceries.  On my list was sugar.  I was on the sugar aisle and it struck me how much the price of sugar has went up over the last several years.  I paid 2.62 for a four pound sack of sugar.  Not only is the price higher but what we get for that price is less sugar.  It doesn't seem that long ago that I paid 89 cents for five pounds of sugar.

I guess everything has went up.  Everything on my list was more today than it was several years ago.  I do use coupons and look for sales that help with the cost of food but it seems that I am getting the short end of the deal.  On my way home I noticed that the price of gas was 3.49.  I could only sigh.

I was putting up the groceries when I remember that there is something that the price will never change!!  In fact it is free!  The price was paid for me!  It is my salvation. I sinned but Jesus paid the price!  All I had to do was accept the gift!  Jesus is the way to salvation.  He died and rose again just for me and for you!!  It is the best deal that I ever chose.  The price is always the same!

What about you?  Will you choose the gift??

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Romans 3:23-25

New International Version (NIV)

²³ for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,²⁴ and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. ²⁵ God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement,^[a] through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—
