Value


Two older men were sitting around have coffee one day, and one was telling the other how he was cleaning out his attic and found an old Bible, one of those family history ones, but is wasn't his family so he through it out. The other man was a antique book collector, and was inquiring about the book. The other man couldn't give a lot of details, but he said there was some thing like guten written on the side. The other man looked like he was about cry, and said "You through away a Gutenberg Bible, an original Gutenberg Bible! Do you know how much that is worth, one was just sold for over 2 million dollars!" The other guy looked a little surprised, but shrugged it off and said "Mine wouldn't have been worth that much some man named Martin Luther scribbled all over it in German."


I thought this was a cute story Pastor Dean told in church on Sunday. But really the bible it self is worth so much, it doesn't have to be a Gutenberg print to be valuable, all it needs is to tell the story of Jesus Christ, and that is worth more than anything in the world!
