Jesus is Worth It (song series)

I recently had the opportunity to watch a film about men and women in several different foreign countries who were considered law-breakers.  They were being watched and followed and investigated because of their illegal actions.  Many were arrested, beaten, imprisoned, and some were killed. They all suffered great loss. What terrible crime could possibly be that awful as to warrant such a response from the authorities?

So what was their crime? 

Their crime was confessing Jesus Christ as their Savior and sharing the Bible with others, so they too could learn of Christ.    

It is so unbelievable to me sometimes to even comprehend that kind of hostility.  I regret to admit how sometimes inconvenience or being awkward may stop me from sharing the gospel.  For heaven's sake, right now, I am up against no lawful risk of being imprisoned or beaten and I still may avoid telling others about Jesus.  How ridiculous I feel and look considering those in countries who do it despite the risk.

To say the least, the movie was convicting.  At the end they posed the question that remains on my heart. 

Is Jesus Worth it?

Is He worth risking my life, my spouse’s life, my children’s lives, my lifestyle, my modern comfort, my time, my earthly possessions, my pride?  Is He worth it?

Well … is He?

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Jesus is worth it

Becki J Buescher

Will I stand for Christ when my life’s on the line

If my children should fall in the crosshairs of the fight

When it does not make earthly sense to utter His name

Jesus is worth it

Though the cost may be great

Jesus is worth it

And He alone will save

Live or die, a sacrifice.

We have been called

to live for the glory of our God

And he is worth it.

Afraid to stand out, afraid to look the fool

Criticized or judged beyond what I say or do

Laying my pride aside and surrender all my fear

Worth it to my final breath

Worthy of all I have left

Until my eyes rest upon Glory
In His fight I shall be
