Jesus paid sin’s penalty in full and offers a free pardon. He breathes life into our spiritually dead souls and makes us fit for heaven. In Christ, we are made alive.

He gained the world and lost his soul.

Father, there is only one way to respond to Your power and majesty—to You alone be the glory forever and ever!

Why do I so often forget that Jesus “came to seek and to save what was lost?” Zacchaeus reminds me to turn my judgment to prayer.

He had everything . . . and nothing . . . at the same time. And then one day, the sad old man died. They said he experienced a rich full life . . . as he experienced an empty hellish eternity. He gained the world and lost his soul.

When Jesus was taken into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit. When we trust in Jesus, the Spirit makes His home in our hearts. Be assured the moment that we believe, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit in full.

Mission accomplished? Only the Father and His willing Son saw beyond what looked like a miserable ending. That day Jesus took on His most important work. On the cross, He took our sins and paid our penalty. Then He cried out one word, “Tetelestai,” which means “paid in full,” and died. Mission accomplished!
