Today on my favorite show, Oprah, (I know I'm a old lady trapped in a teenage body) there were 2 families as guests on her show. They were talking about their financial issues and how they were no longer going to be able to live in their house because they could no longer afford the mortgage. As soon as they had told their unique stories Oprah had Will.i.am. come out on stage. As he made his way up to the families Oprah shared the news that Will.i.am wanted to pay off the rest of their mortgages. As Will.i.am got up on stage next to the families he said 3 little words that brought them to their knees, "PAID IN FULL!" The families were ecstatic, understandably so! I am a new Will.i.am fan just because he was so humble and gracious!
As I soon as I heard Will.i.am say, "Paid in full.." The first thing that came to mind was when Jesus gave His life for this world. As He died His last words were, "IT IS FINISHED!" In the Greek, Christ's cry from the cross, "It is finished!" is an accounting term, meaning that the debt had been paid in full.
I have not been given a house, but something far better. EVERLASTING LIFE! I'd rather have that any day! Thank you Jesus!
