What's life worth?
If life be worth all; then hereby we may take measure of the love and bounty of Christ to poor sinners, who not only spent himself in all to his life, but spent life and all that they might not perish. How superabundant was his grace towards us, that though he was the Prince of Life, (Acts 3:15 Yet became obedient unto death of the cross. (Phil 2:8) that we might live. If a man loves his life, so that he will give skin for skin, and all that he hath, to redeem it; then O how did Christ love His church, who gave not only His riches, and his reputation, but His life also, for its redemption. [Joseph Caryl]
