No doubt you are aware of America’s 14+trillion dollar (I can’t even count that high!) national debt.

But that’s not what this is about.

Can you imagine a greater debt? There is a debt that I owe, that surpasses all numerical calculation. A debt I can never pay off. It’s best enumerated this way:

John 3:16 declares “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life.”

There was a debt of sin that I owed. I could never repay it, no matter how much good I did, no matter how long I lived.

Christ died to cancel that debt. Now I owe a debt to Him. If you multiply that by every human being, not only the near 7 billion people alive today, but all the humans who’ve ever lived…

Then that is a debt you cannot even imagine, let alone ever repay.

Stop for a moment & ponder the debt you owe God. Pray for a moment & give thanks that we don’t have to pay it back!

Thank you, God, for Jesus our Savior!
