You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
The Best news I have ever got is that, I’ve been bought and paid for! What?! Yeah that’s what I said. All of my debt has been paid! We have a father, named Jesus , that hung on a cross, whipped, beaten and cursed, all for us. He could have came down from the cross, he had the ability, but he stayed for me and you! He knew that we would fail him, he knew we were sinners, and without a savior, we would die and go straight to Hell! A fiery furnace where the fire would never be put out! I don’t know about you, but I’m terrified of fire. Too much closeness to a fire pit, or the warmth from a campfire is enough for me. Have you seen what it does to a marshmallow that falls off the stick ?
“He was beaten, he was tortured, but he didn’t say a word. Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered and like a sheep being sheared, he took it all in silence. Justice miscarried, and he was led off— and did anyone really know what was happening? He died without a thought for his own welfare, beaten bloody for the sins of my people. They buried him with the wicked, threw him in a grave with a rich man, Even though he’d never hurt a soul or said one word that wasn’t true.”
Isaiah 53:7-9 MSG
Bought and paid for!
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.”
Romans 8:1-2 NLT
