In The Guardian of 28 August Larry Elliot wrote "What's more, this lacklustre [economic] recovery has not come cheap. As private demand fell, governments stepped up their spending. They cranked up the electronic printing presses, they bought shares in banks and they allowed budget deficits to balloon, gambling that any damage to the public finances would be temporary.... By effectively nationalising a good chunk of the debts accumulated by the private sector, western governments have now raised concerns about their own solvency."
To help anyone in need is going to cost something. It's costing governments around the world the risk of bankruptcy. Are you ready to let the brokenness of a friend, family member or a stranger cost you something? It might not be cheap.
In 2 Corinthians 5:21 we read: "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for taking our debt - not only at the risk of suffering but with the definite outcome of your death. We want to thank and praise you that you took the punishment we deserved and gave us the life we didn't. We know this is a free gift but that it's not cheap - it cost you your life. For this we thank you. Amen
