SOMEBODYS GOTTA PAY

1 PETER 2:23  When they hurled their insults at him he did not retaliate; when he suffered he made no threats, instead he intrusted himself to him who judges justly.
I cant believe ten years have passed! I will never forget sitting in a cafe eating breakfast watching the events of that tragic day unfold. As the story began to unfold, and realizing that someone had done this on purpose The feelings of fear, sadness and anger all seemed to hit me, thinking to myself SOMEBODYS GOTTA PAY.
The reality is that JESUS PAID IT ALL.
God in his amazing grace called every sin from the beginning of time to the end of time and executed his full wrath, punishment, disappointment, judgment and condemnation on His  Son, Jesus. His only begotten son. Jesus the perfect son of God, who lived a completly innocent life offered his life as payment for ALL our sins! That's A-L-L past, present, and future.
That's AMAZING GRACE.  Our entire relationship with God and the favor that comes with it can only be experienced by resting ( not performing a religious duty) in the work of Jesus.
So today as you remember the events of 911, as we remember those that lost their lives, and honor the hero's that gave theirs to save others. Lets take time to Thank God that somebody has paid for our sins and given us the ability to be called the sons and daughters of God.
