Essay:
What is best most exciting thing you have ever purchased? Remember that time when you were younger and saved your money for days, weeks, or even months or years? Think back real hard and remember about how excited you felt when you finally made the purchase and got to bring it home. You were probably so excited and the ride home probably felt like it was taking hours even though it was really only a few minutes. What was that special thing you bought? Do you remember how much that thing meant to you? Now think about how much that item means to you now. Do you even know where that thing is now?
Now think back again to when someone did something really nice someone did for you? Do you remember who did that special thing for you? Do you remember how much that special deed meant to you then? Now the bigger question, how much does that thing mean to you now? Which thing means more to you now, that thing that you bought or the special gesture someone did for you? Probably the gesture someone did for you means more to you now. That is because “Sometimes the things that are free are those which cost the most.” Money and having lots of things are not what make people happy in life. The things that cost or are worth the most in this world are almost always free. Whether it is a special gesture done for you or it was what Christ did on the cross for everyone, they are both free for you.
What Christ did on the cross is worth more than any amount of money, gold, or any earthly things could ever pay for. When Jesus gave up His life for everyone, He gave all humans a free ride to Heaven if they will just accept Him as their Savior and follow Him for the rest of their lives.. Though one must give their life to Christ, it will never cost them a dime to get into Heaven, it is free. Having a free ride given to you costs way more than anyone could ever pay for. It may not always be easy to follow Christ after accepting Him, but it is the most rewarding thing that anyone could ever do. The things in life that cost and mean the most to people in life are almost always free.
