S - V 18-19.... For you know God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And the ransom he paid was not mere gold or silver.
It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless, Lamb of God.
O - empty life inherited from my ancestors....I need to remind myself in bold letters every day that this is exactly what I would be without CHRIST...EMPTY. Ransom - Precious blood of Christ, sinless spotless. God is all powerful and to give his son who was not deserving of the punishment should inspire me to live a holy life.
A - Every minute of the day I need to remind myself in bold letters of the HUGENESS of God's sacrificing Jesus. I'm big on "fairness", even though I'm trying to teach my kids that things aren't always fair:) And for God to let Jesus come here and be treated so terribly and ultimately killed for me and you was not FAIR. As a human I would not be able to do that. THANK YOU GOD THAT YOU AREN"T HUMAN!
P - Lord thank you that I don't live an empty life. God I praise you through all my frustrations I have in this life right now that I can still get up and say I"m full, full of you. Father let those around me today see that fullness and want to know you! Thank you thank you thank you for sacrificing Jesus, even though it wasn't fair to you or him!
