It is
easy to convince ourselves that the payment for our sins will never come
do. I could walk out of my office this morning
and commit any number of serious sins that no one would know about, and for
which there would not be any visible consequences. This trait about sinful behavior leads many
to think that they can get away with sinning – after all, they got away with it
once (or twice or hundreds of times).
But
ultimately, as for Judah and
Israel ,
the bill becomes due. The payment must
be made, and though Christ has paid the spiritual cost there will be a cost
imposed upon each of us, and that cost will be everything that we are capable
of paying. I didn’t realize this, of
course, until the day when my bill became due but having learned it, it has
become a lesson I am striving hard to never forget again.
