Huh? Why that subject?
Well, if we are honest, we are all in debt for something. I myself have been in debt for all of my married life. And it didn't all go away just because my husband passed away last year.
I still have a mortgage and that is ok as I can afford to live where I am and don't worry about ending up on the street.
.Have you ever had a debt that was paid off by someone else. Maybe someone in your family knew you needed help and stepped in to help you?
If so, were you grateful to that person. Or did you just take for granted that you got the help you needed?
And if you were that kind of person, how you must have made that person grieve or even mad that you had not considered them enough to appreciate what they did for you.
But really, that isn't the kind of debt that I am speaking about today.
I am talking about the debt that is the kind that we celebrate during this time every year.
Easter.
Sometimes, we must do that to God. We want to forget what Jesus did for us so we can go our own way and do the things we want to do. And how sad it makes He who gave up His only Son Jesus, to come down to be the sacrifice for the sin of all the world.
Jesus knew the debt we have was one that no human would ever be able to pay. And he offered himself as the One and only that could get us completely out of debt if we just ask Him to forgive us.
Jesus had paid the full price for it on that day. Not considering Himself, but thinking of all those that come before and after Him to do such a dastardly thing.
Thank God though that He still waits for us to come back to him. For us to remember the price that Jesus paid for us. Because with out His forgiveness, we are lost and we will never live with Him in eternity.
It is my challenge for you to be grateful with me for these next few days, to read His Word about the death of Jesus, and Know you and I are truly loved and forgiven. Come back on 5/30 for Day One.
Thanks for coming by, Friends. Blessings to you and yours
