Greetings,
Paul asked his good friend, Philemon to add whatever wrong his runaway servant Onesimus had done, and any other debt he owed, to his (Paul’s) account. Read this touching story in the Book of Philemon:
Philemon 1:17-19 (NKJV) – “If then you count me as a partner, receive him as you would me. [18] But if he has wronged you or owes anything, put that on my account. [19] I, Paul, am writing with my own hand. I will repay–not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self besides.”
This story always blesses me! Did you know that Jesus did the same thing for you and me? He took all the wrong thoughts, intentions and deeds that we had committed and put them on His own account. Then He paid that debt with His death on the cross. How could we not love such a wonderful Savior?
Lord, thank You for paying the debt I owed that was impossible for me to pay. The receipt that proves You have paid my debt in full are the many scars on Your hands, Your feet, Your brow, and Your back. All I can say is, “THANK YOU!”
Today, I’m worshiping with Richard Smallwood and “Thank You.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
