When the West was wild, a rancher went to town for supplies. He hitched his team, and went into the general store to shop.

Suddenly a gunslinger engaged a stranger in a gun fight, and the shots caused the horses to bolt in terror.

Instantly the farmer ran for his team. He stopped his horses, but was trampled under their feet.

"Was your wagon worth it?" asked the doctor.

"Yes," said the dying man. "My children were in it."

Should you ask God if it was worth it to send His Son to die for our sins, I know He'd say, "It was!"

And the Bible says, "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repents."
