Deserving every bit, you receive and begin to serve a Life sentence to this prison of your own making. You have no hope for getting out alive - nothing at all ahead of you, in fact, but death.
Unexpectedly, a day comes when the Warden arrives outside your cell, pulls the key out of his pocket, unlocks the door to your cell, and swings it wide open. He says, “I’ve done everything needed - you can be a free man, if you just step out this door and walk out of here.”
Refusing, you swing the door closed on yourself, grab your spoon and keep digging - determined to make your own destiny.
This is us!
John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29)
The Lamb that takes away the sin of the world - not ‘temporarily suspends’ but takes away - removes.
And He didn’t take away the sin of a few but of the world!
The deed is done. His work is finished. Take the gift being held out to you today, before it’s too late!
For he says,
“In the time of my favor I heard you,
and in the day of salvation I helped you.”
I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2)
