Rembrandt van Rijn – Self portrait


Rembrandt van Rijn painted many self portraits. A particularly good one was done in 1659. He was over 50 years old at the time. It is an honest and ruthless painting of an artist who showed no mercy to himself. Today this painting is worth $100 - $150 million.

So often we see ourselves with absolutely no thought of our own intrinsic value. God was willing to give the riches in heaven, simply to pay for our salvation. Why do we count ourselves to be so worthless when there are no riches on earth that could compare to how much God values us?

We are his greatest masterpiece and with a price tag that simply reads... “Priceless”. That is because nothing except God's 'EVERYTHING' could be sufficient to pay the price for our redemption.

Open your heart to see your value in God's eyes.
