Hang In There…
What an allegory…
The depiction of the thief of the
cross beside Jesus; I see myself… Sure enough deserving of all charges levied
against me… Every allegation… Because I have done more than just steal.
It’s not hearsay because some charges I thought I got away
with, but God still knew and still granted mercy;
and the consequences to follow could have given me a death sentence that took
my life at that very moment of the act or
just at the thought of it, however, grace became my advocate. Jesus stood in proxy as judgment was adjudicated
from Heaven; and He didn't just take the brunt, but He endured it all.
It’s one thing to be falsely accused but I did it all – and then
some. When I think about Jesus and all
He’s done for me, I pick up my pen or keyboard and say to those who are as
guilty as sin as I am to say “Leave Him alone, He doesn't have to do anything
more on our behalf. He is not the one
who is guilty, yet stays here right by our side, to hang in there with us, undeserving but yet willing to stay.”
He could have gotten himself down and me out of my sentence
but He promised me something even better – Life
with Him in eternal paradise for the
recognition of knowing who He is and what He is capable of doing – to give a
pardon of my sins- the impossible,
because there is nothing and no one that could have done it for me.
He remembers us today, yesterday and forevermore and because
He does, we are saved. So, hang on in there…
