The Steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercy shall never come to an end, There is
New every morning, new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness oh Lord!

30 silver coins 2016/11/17


Money ratio-the worth of the 30 silver coins and over the 400 shekels of silvers

1. Mathew 10:29 Are not 2 Sparrows sold for a penny?
Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father,(one penny was a Roman's coin equivalent 
1/16 part of a basic silver coin, insignificant
but yet their values still determined worthy or not by Father God. So as our lives how much we accept the insignificant one, How
insignificant our gift or life is by the one who sent us and our treatment to the insignificant with respect to what have been given to us)
2. Matthew 18:24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him 10 thousand talents was brought to him. (   How severe sinful to gamble and exploit over worldly gains, risking the government wealth for personal prospects until involving family members but lost them all. Matthew 18:28 
but when that servant went out, someone owed him a hundred denarii, he did not let his debtor get away without paying him.He has total sovereignty to show mercy to anyone He decided. Pointless to argue with our Lord because He is more than a financial planner. His calculator is based on His principle and agreement with His co-workers. He grabbed him and began to choke him. (How seriously is anyone offended God, had him and his family redeemed from great debts yet he does not practising forgiveness to the less capable and poorer debtor and family who owed him less money yet stayed punishable. He had been forgiven more than a hundred thousands time, does he have problem to forgive or release other who owed him Seventy-seven times? Not a problem to let go right? Remembering His grace, but if he has forgotten and have greed to overtake , then he shall be trapped or doomed. Matthew 20:13 "But he answered one of them," Friend,I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius?". God mercy and grace are fair as long as we turn to Him no matter early or later, as long as we are in time to make peace. Its Now! We never know if tomorrow ever come.
Matthew 25:28. "Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has. ( if we burried the gifts that God has given to us, that hidding, disguising and do not multiply or magnify them, then we will lost them to those who use them wisely for God's Kingdom). Matthew 27:9 " They took the thirty silver coins, the price set on Him  " by the people of Israel, they used them to buy the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. (Praise God for He loves us even when we are still sinners. Gentiles and foriegners do not have a place, yet this place which been discarded and belittled by the rightful residents was pre-determined and paid with a price of becoming a resting place and land to the homeless, unrest and pittyful lost souls who need the mercy and rescue from Father God)

Genesis 23:15  Ephron answered Abraham" Listen to me, my Lord the Land is worth 400 shekels of silvers, but what is that between me and you? Burry your death." Abraham mourned over lost of his beloved wife. He pleaded and bowed down to the care taker for the agreement to pay for the cave of Machpelah to burry his wife. He paid the price according to the contemporary market value and also as agreed by the Ephron and his people Hettites, even the Hittites insisted and said " No my Lord, I give you the field and give you the cave that is in it. I give it to you in the presence of my people burry my death there."
Abraham agreed to Ephron's and weighed out for him the price he had named in the hearing of the Hetittes: four hundred shekels of shekels of silver, according to the weight current amount the merchants. Afterward Abraham buried his wife Sarah in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre (which is Hebron) in the Land of Canaan. Genesis 23:19. 
It strikes me to see that even Abraham who did not possess the promised land during his life time has bought the piece of land for his wife which then become a permanent place for his people. How great is our Lord has love and plan for His people beyond our understanding!


 It does not matter how people prosecuted us being wasting possessions and being dishonest.
If we are like the parable of the shrewd manager, knowing our own weakness, discounting the debts of the master with the agreement of the debtors, making decision and pay for owing the master debtors, we are inviting friends who are unrighteous and sinners to make peace with God and man. The shrewd manager shall be restoring relationship and would have a secure and solid ground for lives to stay forever.
Luke 16:9 stated: I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcome into eternal dwellings. Let's not be just an ordinary sinner, but a forgiven sinner;
Let's not just not be a normal Christian, but a consecrated Christian. Cross-Close, Grow and Glow!


The moral of our Story, God has great interest to home us in His land, and what He sees and needs from us is our readiness to receive his presents and his gifts. Hitittes and even He shows us as He Tithes! He need only a little  understanding on what He has done for us in return for the faith to forgive and discounting others debts or sins, thus to invite more pleasurable-pleasant relationship in our lives with Him.                                                    jyhowong 11/17/16
