MEDITATE FOR SUCCESS FOR 5/5/16
Meditate On
…come boldly to the throne of grace, that
we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16
Jesus—God’s
Overpayment For Our Sins
Can you imagine paying your creditor 10
times the amount you owe him? How about 100 times that amount? Who does things
like that? God did on your behalf. Why? It’s so that when you know this, you’ll
never have debt on your conscience again.
Beloved, Jesus is God’s overpayment for
your sins. Let me explain what I mean. Let’s say that I owe somebody $10,000.
Along comes my best friend. He knows about my debt and out of his love for me,
he pays my creditor not $10,000 but $100,000!
Now, when I look at my creditor, I am no
longer embarrassed or afraid. In a sense, it’s because of me that he is now
richer. He is more blessed than before because my best friend paid him an extra
$90,000. In the same sense, our Lord Jesus is an overpayment. If you know the
value of Jesus, you will know that He is God’s overpayment for our sins.
So when you come into God’s presence today,
you can come boldly, free of shame, fear and guilt. Jesus, who shed His blood
at Calvary and died for your sins, has torn wide and opened the way to the holy
presence of God. The same blood that tore the veil has perfectly cleansed us of
our sins.
Beloved, because Christ is God’s
overpayment for our sins, you can step boldly into God’s presence today. You
can be confident that your sin debt has been more than paid, and you can enjoy
blessed communion with God!
