I have spent probably far too much time in the last week or so listening to debates concerning our national debt. I am not really sure I even know what a trillion is. Both parties seem convinced that their approach is the correct one and neither party seemed happy with the outcome.
This issue made me think about another unpayable debt called sin. This is a debt we all owe according to scripture, for all have sinned and fallen short of God's standard and there are none righteous among humanity, no not one. Yet we too desire to argue the impending danger. "Well I am a good person" some will say. " I am a much better person than..." others will argue. "I just do not understand why we have to talk about sin and hell and blood that was shed have we not progressed beyond that?"
Much like our representatives we would much rather ignore the issue and continue down the same path we are on telling everyone that it will be alright and we can have our cake and eat it too. But sometimes the reality of the truth intersects with life itself and we are forced to face the truth. So here it is! There is a debt called sin you cannot pay and a solution named Jesus that has paid your debt if you will receive His offer, and no there is not any other solution, so the choice is yours. My prayer is that you will receive with thanksgiving the great gift of Christ and live with gratitude in the freedom only He can give!
