My biblical counselor gave me an illustration I will never forget… ”Imagine you are in front of a Supreme Court Judge that has a zero tolerance policy. You have been found guilty of every crime (sin) you have been accused of, including crimes you thought you got away with, knowing the death sentence awaits you. Suddenly, the judge slams the gavel and says you're free to go and explains to you that someone you don't even know has volunteered to take the death sentence in your place. Wouldn't you want to know this man? Wouldn't you want to change your ways and wouldn't you want to thank Him?”
This really struck home with me, since I am no stranger to the court room and have been put in jail to pay for my crimes. I have had that guilt and shame whey heavy on me.
This is what Jesus did for me... and this pardon is offered to all of us! It's our decision whether or not we want to accept this truth. He took it once and for all! This song is my obedience to share that Good News!
