He said "It will be done"

I am not sure it is possible to truly express or understand this kind of love. But, if you were to take some time to reflect on, and I mean reflect from the inner most part of your heart, this kind of love, you would break down and cry. He loves us, like no one could ever love us.

There is a story I heard or read some time ago, although I can’t remember where, that I want to share and it’s called “It’s How it came that Jesus Paid the Price for our Sins”

There was a day when Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting about how he lured Adam and Eve to sin.  How their sin put them into his hands.  He was laughing and told Jesus how he set a trap using bait that he knew they couldn’t resist. “It was so easy”, he said.

Jesus asked Satan, “What do you plan to do with them, now that they are in your hands?”

Satan replied, “Oh, I’m going have some fun! I’m going teach them how to enjoy the material things of life, how to be self-centered, how to hate and insult each other, how to gamble their life away. Yes, I’ll teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. Yes, this should be fun.

“And what will you do when you are finished with them?” Jesus asked.

“Ah, after that, they will live with me forever” Satan proudly said.

“How much do you want for them?” Jesus asked.

“Jesus”, Satan laughed, “you don’t want those people. See, they are my people, they’re all sinners. They despise you. They’ll spit on you, curse you, offend you and they even kill you!! You don’t want those people!!  These are my kind of people”.

“How much?” Jesus asked again. Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, “All your tears, and all your blood, and your human life.”

Jesus said, “It will be DONE!”

Let’s follow Jesus on the road, the cruel and harsh road where he wins our lives back. The road where He paid the price. What small token of love, or sacrifice can we show God we are trying to say thank you. It all comes down to this, we are all his,  and Jesus would do it all over again, just for you, and just for me.
