we owed a debt we couldn't pay, Christ paid a debt he didn't owe.
that's love.
As @kb_hga puts it:
"Psalm 75 paints this picture of a cup of wine foaming at the top and the cup is described as God's anger towards sin and it's as if the drink gets stronger and as it ages it strengthens and the bible says that the wicked will drink that cup down to the bottom and that cup has your name on it.
But God is not just angry, but he's loving, patient, full of mercy...and [for] the very ones who deserve his judgment, he sends his son to make things right: in steps Jesus...
...He was not just a godly man, he was God in the flesh. He was not just a good teacher, he was the apotheosis of knowledge, never needing mercy or grace or forgiveness. He gave mercy, gave grace, gave forgiveness. And then with his perfect self, he climbs on a cross. And on that cross, he takes on that bitter cup that had your name on it. He writes his name over yours. He drinks that cup and finds the bottom in three hours, flips that cup over and says, it is finished.
The debt that I owe to God for all that I have done, the debt that you were going to pay through separation from God, Jesus cuts the check with his life and the memo says, "Paid in full"
...He gets up out the grave proving everything that he said was true. Jesus gets out the grave. The resurrection is the blue check [that] enables him to turn to...us, the thirsty, the broken, the dying, and say, come to me, I will redeem you. I will forgive you. I will restore you."
And he's always ready, with arms open wide for you, because He paid the price❤
