I bought a floor lamp online from the local big box store, entered my cc information, “transaction complete, pick up at your convenience” was the reply. Next day I went to the store, showed my cell phone with the bar code receipt to the customer service personnel, parcel was handed right to me. No further transaction necessary….. everything was paid before….. nothing else required of me….. no hurdles to jump over……. hoops to jump through…. It was paid in full previously, all I needed to do was receive what was already transacted!

 

1 Peter 2:24-25 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed.

 

Hummm, already paid for. No further transaction necessary….. everything was paid before….. nothing else required of me….. no hurdles to jump over……. hoops to jump through…. It was paid in full previously, all I need to do is receive what was already transacted!

 

Jesus, help me walk in the reality of that!
