We are all without exception in the debtors prison awaiting our appearance before a holy God, but he is not only holy, he is also merciful and forgiving. So out of a heart of love, he devised a way that we can have that debt paid, the question is how?, the answer he sent Jesus his only Son. He came with the specific purpose to pay the price of our sinful debt, a debt that no one is able to pay, I stress no one. Einstein could not solve this dilemma that we find ourselves in ,none of the great philosophers could solve it, the list is endless of false religions, promising they have the answer, but that's all they are ,false religions. No, we must turn again to God's answer, Jesus ,writing to Christians at a place called Colosse the apostle Paul reminds them what Christ accomplished for them ,here is what he wrote,' God has broken you clean away from your past. He has freely forgiven your sins. Those sins represented, so to speak, a mountain of bankruptcy which you were bound to acknowledge but could never have any hope of discharging , and nothing you could afford redress. But Christ has wiped the slate clean and given you a fresh start. He took that signed confession of indebtedness which stood as a perpetual witness against you, and cancelled it in His death'( Col 2 v 13 ff)
Jesus for you a body takes,
Thy guilt assumes, thy fetters breaks,
Discharging all thy dreadful debt-
And canst thou then such love forget. ( Words by Krishna Pal )
