DAD'S RAMBLINGS – The Receipt
Romans 4:23-25
"Now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed to him, but also for us. It shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was delivered up because of our offenses, and was raised because of our justification."
Jesus was delivered up to suffering and death because of my sin, but His resurrection is the evidence that the transaction is complete. When I make a transfer of money from one account to another at the ATM, I see on the screen that the transfer has happened, but I always want the receipt as physical proof that it is competed. The cross is only half of the process. The empty tomb is the receipt – the proof – that righteousness is available to be added to my account.
TODAY'S THOUGHT: The Resurrection of Jesus is proof that the transaction is complete and
justification is available to be imputed to my account by faith.
Have a thankful day. Love you.
