There is a reason that He communicates so many things to us in phrases that relate to money.

 

It is what we relate to…..

 

Today is a great example of this very concept:  Black Friday.  The day when many of the businesses “move into the black”.

 

There is shopping, football, feasting on the remains of Thanksgiving, and hopefully rest and quality time with family.

 

As we walk into this day, let me remind you of the more important black Friday….it happened 2000 years ago on a cross and was sealed by a man who chose not to run from death….but to face it.

 

In His final words on the cross, Jesus declared:

 

It Is Finished

John 18:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

It is finished.  A great translation of this declaration is to say that He said it was:  Paid In Full.

 

Paid In Full.

 

Imagine if we were brought before the judge and accused of all the things that we have truly done….we would be guilty as charged.

 

But when God couldn’t get us right by telling us what to do, He decided He had to come and show us what to do.  Even so, we are utterly in debts up to our eyeballs without the act of Jesus actually squaring up the debt.

 

So enjoy Black Friday.  Enjoy the shopping and the games and the time to relax.

 

But as you do, remember why you can.

 

You are free.

You are delivered.

 

You are DEBT FREE.

It Is Paid In Full

 

In The Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
