27By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. 28By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch Israel’s own firstborn.
29By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were drowned.
What is the cost, "by faith"? Not easy words to embrace, as many pay a price in this world for it. Have you weighed your cost? Was is ridicule of coworkers, friends or family? Were you thrown out on the street?
Every year our church has spring break for the high school students. They load up the bus and drive to Florida to attend a high school Christian camp. They do fun things plus learn about Jesus. One of the students was a foreign exchange student. He was warned by his parents not to convert to Christianity. During this trip he gave his life to Jesus! What was his price? His parents disowned him! He was told he could not return home.
Even though I've never met this student I wish I could adopt him! Why? I believe it is because when we were led to adoption, it was our hope to raise a child for the Lord, to dedicate his life to Jesus. But our prodigal son, has left the Son for the world.
What was your cost "by faith"?
Blessings, David
