Price of expressions

The "message" in holiday retail ads says your love for someone is
demonstrated (and sometimes judged) by the expense of the gift you
give. Although I consider the blatant profiteering aspect of that
"message" loathsome, there is a principle in there somewhere.

Jesus gave His very life for us. If that indicates the quality of
His love for us (and it does), then... Wow! I cannot comprehend it.
  
"If you want to be my follower you must love me more than your own
  father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes,
  more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. And
  you cannot be my disciple if you do not carry your own cross and
  follow me. (Luke 14:26-27 NLT)
