It's the Easter weekend! Jesus is alive - He didn't stay dead. Having been beaten, nailed to a cross, hurled abuse and mocked...Jesus endured death. He knew what the pain and the separation from His father would cost, yet He went through it all knowing what was to come. It meant that what was my debt (sin) and what should have been my punishment is now totally satisfied. (The wages of sin is death - Romans 6:23.) He paid the price of all my sin - every mean and impure thought, every lie, every time I've cut God out of the picture, every time I've not met God's perfect standard - He dealt with it all. What does that now mean? It means that all charges against me have been dropped - Jesus settled it all on my behalf. Through Jesus' death I'm now forgiven. All guilt and shame have no place, because of what He did. The amazing thing is Jesus didn't stay dead - He rose again in victory! He's alive today and He still loves me! He loved me enough to die for me and He loves me enough to bring me into His family. He's made me His daughter, loved, forgiven, filled with His hope, joy and peace. This is my Saviour! Reason no. 224 :)
