Precious Lord, Take My Hand.

"Unto you therefore which believe He is precious..." —1st Peter 2:7

What is precious to you? Something which is “precious” is something of value (high worth or cost). In this modern world of materialism and wickedness, fewer and fewer people recognize the things of God as precious.

Very few people place any real value upon the Bible these days. Very few people recognize the name of “Jesus” as precious.

In fact, many people express contempt at the mention of the name of Jesus. The Apostle Peter knew that the Lord Jesus Christ is very Precious to the believer...

“Unto you therefore which believe He is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.” —1st Peter 2:7

Jesus is Precious to me because He loves me for who I am, a rotten sinner deserving of Hell...

“For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” —Romans 5:7-8

Jesus did for us what no one else would have done, He gave His life for our sinful soul. I can't think of anyone that cares about me enough to die for me, but that's exactly what Jesus did for me. Jesus sacrificed His life upon the cross for my sins because He loves me. Jesus is Precious to me because He loves me and proved it by suffering to pay for my sins. What a Precious Savior!
