With Jesus' last breath on the cross, He declared the debt of sin canceled, completely satisfied. Nothing else required. Not good deeds. Not generous donations. Not penance or confession or baptism or...or...or...nothing. The penalty for sin is death, and we were all born hopelessly in debt. He paid our debt in full by giving His life so that we might live forever.
Charles Swindoll, Walk with Jesus, p.45
That's it. Jesus said,
It is finished. And our debt was paid.
On this Good Friday, may you remember with somber and sincere joy what Jesus has done for your soul. If you aren't quite sure about Jesus, and have questions about His death and resurrection, please email me. I would love to talk with you!
May the peace of Christ rest upon you today!
