GOD GAVE JESUS WHAT HE PAID FOR!
GOD GAVE JESUS WHAT HE PAID FOR! A fellow pastor and I were riding together sometime ago and passed a church with its weekly âmessageâ on its marquee; âHave you given to Jesus what He paid for?â We thought about it for a minute and exclaimed how unreasonable and illogical the idea was. We would protest of such a thing in our society. Can you imagine going into a retail place of merchandise and picking out an item, paying the asking price in full, and the salesperson refusing to give you what you paid for? Jesus Christ has âwhat He paid forâ. He has it by eternal decree, by purchase possession, and by a willing consent. The Father gave it to Him by eternal decree, âI will declare the decreeâ (the Father said to His Son in the eternal counsel). âThe Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritanceâŚâ (Psalm 2:7-8). Upon the satisfaction of sinâs debt through His death on the cross the entire human race was given to Jesus as Mediator King over all things. In that reward was given to Him in the special decree of election, a people to which in turn He would âgive eternal life.â In His prayer in John 17:2, He says to the Father, âAs thou hast given him (me) power over all flesh, that he (I) should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him (me)â (observe the thence). Jesus Christ has what He paid for by purchase possession. In the letter to the Ephesians Paul talks about the purchased possession and speaks of the Holy Ghost as being the deposit of guarantee; as we would deposit an earnest payment upon an item we had agreed to buy. âWhich (Who) (the Holy Spirit) is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possessionâŚâ (v.14). The Church, which is His body, and being presently formed and will be claimed in its fullness at His Second Coming, has been bought, paid for, and given to Christ. Finally, the Father gave Jesus as His reward, sin debtâs satisfaction, by willing consent of the purchased possession. The Psalmist said in Psalm 110:3, âThy people shall be willing in the day of thy powerâŚâ meaning, when the Father exercises His effectual grace in their hearts they become willing subjects of His possession. Therefore what Jesus paid for is given and guaranteed by the Father, not man. Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.
