For the guilty criminal standing there guilty before the judge, there are no better words to hear than the judge’s declaration: “Not guilty.” That is what Jesus says to the guilty-as-sin sinner who comes to Him in repentance.
Passing on through to the other side
When you pass away, you pass through a doorway, sort of, and — whoops, there you are, ready or not… kneeling before God. You have reached your final destination — a timeless realm prepared by God. Ready for that?
Significance – what Jesus gives us
Life is short. We are “like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney” (Hosea 13:3). Only Jesus changes that. Jesus makes us eternally significant.
Useless and Worthless
We really aren’t “useless and worthless”. It certainly feels that way sometimes. But Jesus died for our sin and paid the price with His blood. And now we are worth more than we can even imagine!
