What an amazing image! Today, I was told that a debt I had hanging over my head was not really a debt at all. What an amazing feeling to learn that instead of owing money, I was to receive money. It was freeing and it brought up in me an even greater generosity toward others.
As I thought about it longer, I realized that this was exactly the picture of what Christ did for me in terms of the punishment I deserved for my sin. Instead, He took my debt and gave me His righteousness. Shouldn't the same freedom and generosity to share what God has done for me permeate my life? All our lives?
