I Peter 1:18-19a “For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ…” Key thoughts–For you know…empty way of life—you were redeemed—precious blood of Christ.Meaning: Without Jesus all of life is meaningless—with our Savior life is meaningful.  Everyone on earth makes the choice. Very simple.
