Tell me, if
you have the legal rights to a MasterCard and the bank account reads an
outrageous sum of money, the kind that will outlive you, what will you do,
ignore it or spend it?
Many weeks
ago, my colleagues had a discussion about an all-expense paid trip overseas and
the prospect excited many. It means, all that anyone going for this trip will
need has been provided already. Will it be in place for anyone going for this
trip to spend their time looking for money to make the trip a success?
Then
suddenly it dawned on me, this is exactly what Christ has done for the world.
Many years ago, Jesus Christ transferred into your account all that you will
ever need to live a glorious life here on earth and in the world to come and
gave you the MasterCard.
What does
these words of Christ on the cross, “IT IS FINISHED” mean to you? To me, in one
word, DONE, in another PAID, and in another, OVER.
DONE; it
means the legal agreement, to provide you and I with all we need to live a
glorified life acceptable by God has been reached. “INDEED, UNDER THE LAW
ALMOST EVERYTHING IS PURIFIED WITH BLOOD, AND WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD THERE
IS NO FORGIVENESS OF SINS.”(HEBREW 9:22 ESV)
PAID; the
full price for this life has been paid. “HE GAVE HIMSELF AS A PAYMENT TO FREE
ALL PEOPLE. HE IS PROOF THAT CAME AT THE RIGHT TIME.”(1 Timothy 2:6 NCV)
OVER; man’s
struggle with the sinful nature is over. “WE KNOW THAT OUR OLD SINFUL SELVES
WERE CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST SO THAT SIN MIGHT LOSE ITS POWER IN OUR LIVES. WE
ARE NO LONGER SLAVES TO SIN” (Romans 6:6). WHEN SOMEONE BECOMES A CHRISTIAN, HE BECOMES A BRAND NEW
PERSON INSIDE. HE IS NOT THE SAME ANYMORE. A NEW LIFE HAS BEGUN! (2 Corinthians
5:17 TLB).
Do you have
access to the all-expense paid life?
