You Are Right, Abigail Disney: Why Jesus Is Not Worth Millions
You Are Right, Abigail Disney
Why Jesus Is Not Worth Millions
Earlier today heiress Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of Roy Disney, co-founder of The Walt Disney Company, said she thinks CEOs in general are paid far too much:
If your CEO salary is at the 700, 600, 500 times your median workers’ pay, there is nobody on Earth — Jesus Christ himself isn’t worth 500 times his median workers’ pay.
So Jesus is not worth 500 x $45,000 = $22.5 million annual salary.
I just had to jump on this opportunity to say how right Ms. Disney is. But perhaps for reasons different than she intends.
Immeasurable Value
Jesus is not worth a $22.5 million annual salary, first, because the skill set he brings is worth infinitely more. Infinitely, literally. Paying Jesus $22.5 million annually would be an insult. Like paying Churchill a dollar for his part in defeating Hitler. Or paying Martin Luther King a quarter for his part leading to the Civil Rights Act. Or paying Alexander Fleming a nickel for discovering the existence of antibiotics. Paying Jesus only $22.5 million annually would be worse. Infinitely worse.
Jesus’s value for the human race, and his particular skill set, are immeasurable. For example, in Jesus God did what no other human — or even any divine law — could do: “God did what the law . . . could not do. By sending [Jesus] his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh” (Romans 8:3).

what say you? agree/ disagree?
I find it ironic that Abigail means 'a father's joy' and if Jesus indeed is 'the father's joy' who 'he delights in' why would he not be of infinite worth? Perhaps it boils down to what your treasure is?
