Buying Ugly Houses
I heard a preacher say that as he drove down the street one day he noticed a sign that read, “We buy ugly houses.” He began to wonder why anyone would want to buy an ugly house. Yes, who in their right mind would want to live in an ugly house? He said this perplexed him until he found out that an investment company specialized in purchasing unsightly houses that needed repairs. Once purchased, the company takes their resources and works on the houses until they are transformed into beautiful and desirable homes.
At that point, he cried out that he is so glad that Jesus is like that company. Over two thousand years ago, Jesus hung on a cross with a sign over his head that essentially said, “We Buy Ugly Houses.” Before we met Jesus we were ugly houses filled with pride, jealousy, envy, anger and hatred; clearly in need of repair. We were purchased by his blood, repaired by his love and transformed by his spirit into beautiful and wonderful homes or temples for the Holy Spirit.
Thanks God for buying this ugly house!!!!
