*Topic: Your debt has been paid*

*“He said, ‘It is finished!’” John 19:30*

*In Old Testament times, you received forgiveness from God by bringing a sacrificial lamb to the altar, where a priest would shed its blood and offer it as atonement. The first person in Scripture to do this was Cain’s brother, Abel (See Genesis 4:4). When Solomon dedicated his magnificent temple, he sacrificed one-hundred-and-twenty-thousand sheep and twenty-two-thousand oxen as a sacrifice for the entire nation.*

*In the Old Testament Tabernacle, the sacrificial fire was never allowed to go out; it had to be kept burning. The Israelites carried it with them on their journey through the wilderness, and it’s been estimated that between Gethsemane and Easter, no less than one hundred thousand lambs died, literally turning the Kidron Stream red. However, not one fluid ounce of the blood that was shed could atone for our sins. They were simply rolled forward, waiting for a lamb whose sacrifice would end all sacrifices, a priest whose finished work would atone for sin once and for all. And that’s what happened when Jesus cried, “It is finished.” In Hebrew, the phrase literally means “Paid in full.” At that moment, the curtain in the temple that separated the people from God was torn from top to bottom. As a result, we can now go at any time where only one man could go one day a year—into the presence of God, knowing we’ll be loved, accepted, seen through the blood of Christ, and deemed righteous. With that in mind, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16 NKJV).*

*Topic: Much more*

*“Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” Romans 5:20*

*Just minutes before his final breath, Jesus cried out, “Tetelestai!” from the cross. In English, it is translated as “It is finished.” It was the same word that was written on receipts in New Testament times, indicating that a debt had been paid in full. Jesus’ death on the cross was the final instalment on sin. The entire debt for every sinner who comes to Him for salvation has been paid in full at Calvary.*

*Paul wrote: “Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” Did you catch it? “Much more!” The mercy bank is never closed. And there are never insufficient funds. The supply of grace is always greater than the demand of sin. The split second we confess our sin, a miraculous transaction happens. All our sin is transferred to Christ’s account and paid in full. But as good as that is, it’s only half the gospel. There’s a second transfer that takes place. All His righteousness is credited to our account, and God says, “Let’s call it even!” Paul explained it this way: “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them…For He made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:19, 21 NKJV). To be “in Christ” means we stand in His righteousness rather than our own. So, when we stand before God, we won’t have to account for our sin, because it was already accounted for at the cross. The Father will see the righteousness of His Son that has been credited to our account.*

*Topic: He’s looking for labourers*

*“Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:38*

*When Martin Luther began the work that became the Great Reformation, his friend Myconius said, “I can best help where I am. I will remain and pray while you toil.” Then one night, Myconius dreamed that Jesus approached him and showed him His hands and feet, wounded by His crucifixion. He looked into the eyes of his Saviour and heard Jesus say to him, “Follow Me.”*

*Jesus led him to a mountaintop and pointed eastward. Myconius looked and saw a plain stretching away from the horizon. It was dotted with thousands and thousands of sheep, and one man was trying to shepherd the great flock. Myconius recognised him as his friend, Martin Luther. The Saviour then pointed westward, and Myconius saw a great field of standing corn, with only one reaper trying to harvest it all. The lonely labourer was obviously exhausted, but he persisted. Myconius recognised the reaper to be Martin Luther. “It is not enough that I should pray,” he said when he awoke. “The sheep must be shepherded, and the field of corn must be reaped. Here am I; send me.” He immediately sought out Luther and volunteered to serve in whatever capacity Luther desired. The Bible says, “When [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion…Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest’” (Matthew 9:36-38 NKJV). The only “prayer request” Jesus ever made was for labourers to go into the harvest field. And He’s calling you to be one of them.*

*Topic: Avoid comparing yourself to others*

*“It is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.” Job 32:8*

*Elihu suddenly spoke up in Job chapter thirty-two. It’s apparent he had been present all along, but he held his peace because he believed Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar were older and wiser than he was. “I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know” (Job 32:6 NIV).*

*After hearing the long and meaningless discourses of Job’s three older friends, Elihu suddenly felt emboldened to speak: “It is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. It is not only the old who are wise…Therefore I say: Listen to me; I too will tell you what I know” (Job 32:8-10 NIV). Then he spoke nonstop for the next six chapters. He no longer saw himself as a loser in the game of comparison. Feelings of inferiority are generated by comparing yourself with others. Or you go to the other extreme and finish up with a sense of superiority. That’s why you should never play the comparison game. Question: Can you recall a time when you felt so inadequate that you kept quiet and refused to speak up, even though you had a worthwhile thought or idea? You must realise that it is not your ability that determines your success, but “the breath of the Almighty, that gives [you] understanding.” The secret of success is drawing daily on God’s enabling power. When you become persuaded of this truth, you will be able to take on new levels of risk and responsibility without fear of failure.*

*Topic: Demonstrating God’s kingdom where you live*

*“Your kingdom come.” Matthew 6:10*

*Every time you are in conflict with someone, but you go to them and seek reconciliation and forgiveness—the kingdom is breaking into this world. Every time you have a chunk of money and decide to give significantly to somebody who is hungry or homeless or poor—the kingdom is breaking into the world. Any time someone has an addiction and wants to partner with God so much that they are willing to get help from a loving community—the kingdom is breaking into the world.*

*Every time a workaholic parent decides to stop idolising their job, rearranges their life, and begins to love and care for the family entrusted to them—the kingdom is breaking into the world. Every time you include someone who’s lonely, every time you encourage someone who’s defeated, every time you challenge somebody who’s wandering off the path, and every time you serve the needy—the kingdom of God is once more breaking into the world. Jesus taught us to pray: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Notice He didn’t tell us to pray, “Get me out of here so I can go up there!” His prayer was, “Make up there come down here. Make things run down here, in my life, the way they run up there.” The answer to this prayer begins with you personally: your body, your mind, your appetites, etc. Then it spreads to your workplace, your family, your neighbourhood, your church, and your sphere of influence. And it all starts by asking yourself this question: “Where do I want to see God’s presence and power break into my world?”*

*Topic: Count your blessings*

*“All these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you.” Deuteronomy 28:2*

*An observant Jew says a minimum of one hundred blessing prayers each day, beginning with the Hebrew formula: Baruch Atah Adonai. Practicing Jews bless God when they see or experience something for the first time. They bless God for smells and tastes. And if something is pleasurable, they bless God. If you enjoy something without saying a blessing, according to the Talmud, it’s as if you had stolen it.*

*“All these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you.” Note the words “come upon” and “overtake.” You never know how or when His blessings will overtake you. But unlike His goodness and mercy, which “follow” us all the days of our lives (See Psalm 23:6), the blessings of God are tracking you down like a heat-seeking missile. They’re hot on your trail. And one day they’re going to overtake you. Now God doesn’t bless us so we can raise our standard of living; He blesses us so we can raise our standard of giving. The greatest blessing is the ability to bless others. Have you been blessed? That’s where you need to flip the blessing. Where has God shown you favour? That’s where you need to return the favour. There is no greater joy than being on the giving end of a gift. Isn’t that what Jesus said? “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35 NIV). There are hundreds of blessings in Scripture, each with your name on it. If you are in Christ, the blessings belong to you. “No matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ” (2 Corinthians 1:20 NIV). So, count your blessings.*

2 Ki 18:17–20:21, Luke 15:11–32, Ps 27, Pro 7:10–20
