"Good News"

Scripture Reading:    
Romans 6:23 (HCSBO) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 
Devotion And Meditation:
Friday, I gave you the bad news, so today, let me provide you with some Good News:  "The Gift of God is eternal life i Christ Jesus our Lord."  It is a gift, a free gift that cannot be earned nor deserved.  We all remember the excitement of opening gifts as children. around the Christmas tree.  We did not have to pay for those gifts.  We did nothing to earn them.  We simply opened them and received them.  A gift is the opposite of a wage.  We earn and deserve our wages.  We don't earn or deserve a gift.  If we did, it would be a reward and not a git.  How is all this possible, we still have to deal with the bad news?  Jesus made the way possible by dealing with the bad news, Himself.  2000 years ago on a Roman Cross Jesus took the bad news and became sin for us.  He paid the price, so we can finish the verse and enjoy the Good News.  What a difference there is in these two bits of news.  The bad news is that sin is costly, and it has a wage attached to it.  The Good News is that eternal life is free.  It's God's git to us. 
 
Win or lose, I want to make sure that I make God's name great
