I am such a sucker! No, really! My wife had a craving last night for some Fritos, so I drove 2 miles to the grocery store. I had only two items on my list (Fritos and rice pudding) but came out with $42 worth of stuff! What a sucker! I found coke products 3 - six packs for $12, freezer pops 2 for $6, and Skittles that were on sale. I had forgotten a birthday card, ketchup, and grits. I’m not an impulsive buyer, I just found several items that I needed that were on sale (I am also in denial). I explained to the cashier my dilemma and he just smiled. That is their evil plan at Food Lion: separate me from my money. But when I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior in 1956, I struck the bargain of a lifetime! I constantly feel that I have taken advantage of the dear Lord. When I trusted in Christ as my Savior, I got a guaranteed home in heaven and Jesus got my dirty rotten sins. A great deal for me, but an old rugged cross for Jesus. Paul explained it beautifully in II Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” I may be a sucker at the grocery store, but I made the bargain of a lifetime when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. Hey, the deal is available for you too!
