It would have bankrupted you or me, so he paid it for us. Call it simple. Call it a gift.
But don't ever call it easy.
(Max Lucado)
Have you ever borrowed something from someone, not really wanting to do it but knowing that you needed to? Have you ever not been able to pay that debt back, and had the one who paid it for you say don't worry about it, this one is on me?
That is what Jesus did for us, bought our sins and sorrows for his price in blood. It took everything he had, but he paid it willingly, happily, lovingly. The least we can do is say thanks. Every day when you sit down to eat…thank Jesus. Every day when your kids are on your last nerve…thank Jesus. When you have had a day like no other…thank Jesus.
It's all he wants us to do. Talk to him and thank him for paying for our forgiveness. What an awesome friend we have.
In Christ!
Rick
