We sang “Jesus Paid it All” in church today. I started thinking as we were singing. Jesus did pay it all. He was abused, beaten, scorned, and murdered and he paid it all. But, I think a lot of people don’t realize this when they are thinking of how it affects their own lives.
A lot of folks think they need to clean up their lives, or make themselves better before they come to Jesus. They think they must make changes and they must get rid of the junk in their lives before they come to him. But, Jesus paid it all! We can’t clean up enough to make ourselves worthy, but that’s all right because he paid it all.
If we try and clean ourselves up before we come to him, then we’re discounting the fact that Jesus paid it all. If folks will come to Jesus, right now just the way they are, then he will clean them up and he will make all the difference in our lives – because Jesus paid it all.
