There's a game show where contestants try to win a million dollars by selecting numbered brief cases containing $ increments from $1 to $1,000,000. The rules are simple. Choose a briefcase. Then as each round progresses, you must either stay with your original briefcase choice or make a "deal" with the bank to accept its cash offer in exchange for whatever dollar amount is in your chosen case. Once you decide to accept or decline the bank's offer, the decision is final.
Contestants are encouraged to ask friends or family in the audience for advice; however, only the contestant's answer will be considered binding and final. Of course, the brief cases are being held by some of the most beautiful women in the world. I wonder if this is a game show or a guy show.
NBC was not the first to come up with this game. People have been playing it for a long time as they gaze into the uncertainty that the world offers and select what they hope will be the answer to their dreams. As people approach life like a slot machine dropping in tokens and hoping for a win and maybe a jackpot. Sometimes their response is yeah baby and at others it is awww! Then they wait on the banker to call.
God offers us the deal of a lifetime. His Son for our sins. His blood for our bondage. Christ's cross for our crime. His death for our life. What a deal!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16).
"Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal" (John 6:27).
Jesus...said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." (John 6:29 NASB)
