My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Arthur Jackson, tells of the elation felt by the 2019 Morehouse College graduates at their Commencement when they learned that their entire college debts had been paid by the Commencement speaker. And you can read about their joy AT THIS LINK … and see it in the attached photo.
Fellow Christian, … perhaps some of you have experienced - as have my wife and I - the elation of receiving the paper work from the bank that the mortgage is PAID IN FULL. Well, that’s what the Morehouse grads in 2019 felt like when they learned that their billionaire commencement speaker had paid all of their college debts. And it’s the feeling we should remember and feel - but even more so - that ALL of our sin debt was PAID IN FULL by Christ on the cross.
But, I’m afraid many - if not most - of us Christians get to a place where we take that wonderful truth for granted. Hey, fellow believer, TODAY let’s remember with joy and elation - and WITH PRAISE - that our Lord shed His blood in propitiation for our sins. In other words, as the linked song declares, He paid it all; … and we PTL for it!!!
SO, … today … I declare a resounding HALLELUJAH!! And I say, ”PRASE JESUS!!” for paying my sin debt in full.
=============
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for shedding Your blood to pay for our sins.
=============
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray, Lord, that all reading here will join me, … to remember and declare our praise for Jesus shedding His blood to pay our sin debt … IN FULL !!! Amen
