Auction action

The house across the street was auctioned for sale this afternoon. It was an intriguing sight. At first it resembled an open-air. There was a man shouting with an open-air voice. His associates were handing out pamphlets and the crowd was scattered all over the side walks on both sides of the street as well as in the street.

At the conclusion, it occurred to me that the joy of the experience was limited to three parties present: the seller, the buyer, and the auctioneer.

How different is an open-air. The good news pronounced at the open-air is for all to experience the joy of Jesus, and at no cost to anyone in the ring. The person who accepts the Lord as Saviour is welcomed into the kingdom of God and owner of a "mansion, just over the hilltop." Hallelujah!

John 14:2 (NKJV)
2 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

good word Jim. I would add though, there is a bit of a cost, the way of the cross. To receive is free, but to follow requires...well you know what I mean.
