Jesus Christ Our Surety

"By so much was Jesus made a SURETY of a better testament…

Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him,

seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.”

(Hebrews 7:22-25)

When one undertakes to be surety for another, the debt is reckoned unto him and he accepts it. Thus our Dear Savior, our Blessed Surety stood up for us, engaged in our behalf. Our debts, all our iniquities were imputed to Him and laid upon Him, charged upon His person. He fully satisfied and perfectly accomplished justice for them. By the one sacrifice of Himself, He hath taken them all away, made an end of sin so that Justice Himself proclaims His faithfulness to forgive sin, 1 John 1:9. Grace reigns, Mercy triumphs, sinners are pardoned, believers rejoice. Oh, believer, you are blessed of your God Who is just, therefore does not, cannot, impute sin to you. True, you have committed sins innumerable but it just as true, that they were all laid upon Jesus. True, you do sin; it is equally true, Christ hath bore them. You will commit sin; it is perfectly true but your Savior has paid for them all. You have nothing to plead but guilty in yourself yet perfectly righteous in Christ. Every charge the enemy brings from the righteous law against you is just: own it but ever plead in your own conscience and before the throne, that Jesus has satisfied all; there is now no condemnation. Oh believer, this is the most Precious Truth of God.
