Ransomed

Most of us in Christ are humbled by life. Like cowering puppies. Oliver Twists. We mourn the weight of our sin. Guilty liars. Captured thieves. Broken hearts. Sometimes we prop ourselves up with false exaltation. Trying hard to mask our insecurity. Or we deem ourselves unworthy of any good. We stay in jail when a pardon has been granted. But the ransom was paid. Freedom granted. Released. Set free. A death occurred. Brutal. Bloody. Christ in our place. Substituted. For us. Mercy extended. Grace offered. Life received.  All praise to the Lord Jesus Christ. I have been saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as revealed in Scripture alone, for God's glory alone. Jesus loves you!
