It’s that time of year once again. The holidays are upon us and the frantic shopping season is here in full swing with another Black Friday and Cyber Monday just days away. While some may shop from the comfort of their homes, many shoppers are willing to go all out and fight the large crowds and long lines just so they can score the best deals on the hottest items this season.

I like great deals just as much as the next person and want to save as much as possible when it comes to shopping for Christmas. But honestly I don’t  want those deals enough to endure the craziness of Black Friday. While some of the deals offered are hard to pass up, the very best deal offered is not found on Black Friday or even on Cyber Monday. Now, you may be thinking, when is it offered then? The best deal you will ever find is offered all day, every day, 365 days out of the year. And it’s offered without all the hassle and chaos.

The best deal in town is the deal God offers you and me. He offers us everlasting life, joy over heartache and pain, and salvation from our sins. Through the sacrifice of His one and only son, God is able to offer us something better than anything we will ever find on sale this holiday season (John 3:16). God offers us eternal life over eternal death, and there is no better deal than that (Romans 6:23).

While many people are willing to endure madness for a few short-lived sales, we often are not as willing to respond to the best deal ever offered. Are you willing to do whatever you have to for the offer God has made you?  It’s the offer of a lifetime! Why not take hold of that offer today? Why not tell your friends about the great deal God is offering? We all know people are looking to score the best deal in town, but in the end the person who accepts God’s offer will save more than just some cash, they will save a soul. Perhaps even their very own soul!
