1. How much did Christ give up to redeem man? "Ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers; but with precious blood, as of a Lamb without blemish, and without spot, even the blood of Christ." 1 Peter 1:18, 19. "But emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross." Phil. 2:7, 8. 2. What practical lesson do we draw from this? "Because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow His steps." 1 Peter 2:21. NOTE.—As He sacrificed all for us, so should we be willing to lay all upon the altar of service. 3. What declaration does Christ Himself make upon this point? "Whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he can not be My disciple." Luke 14:33. 4. What illustration does the Saviour give of the sacrifice necessary to win heaven? "The kingdom of heaven is like unto a treasure hidden in the field; which a man found, and hid; and in his joy he goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a merchant seeking goodly pearls; and having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had, and bought it." 13:44-46. 5. What example is recorded of the doing of this? "When they had brought their boats to land, they left all, and followed Him." Luke 5:11. 6. What is Christ's promise to all who follow this example? "Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or lands, for My sake, and for the Gospel's sake, but he shall receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life." Mark 10:29, 30.
