Good News - At the Last Minute!

 

                               Good News -- At The Last Minute!

   The man sat on the floor of his cell.  His head was buried in his hands and his shoulders quivering as he sobbed. The time was approaching -- either very fast or very slow -- he couldn't tell. But soon the jailor would arrive to take him to the site of his execution.

He was more grief-stricken and hopeless than afraid. He was guilty for sure. But he tried everything to stop the process. He had written the governor begging for a pardon. He had exhausted his appeals. Had a retrial. But -- the verdict was the same: "Guilty as charged" and he now waited for the jailor to come a take him. No possibility of another chance.

He heard someone coming. Sounded like the jailor. Then the sound  of the keys clanging loudly at the cell door.

Yes, the jailor was here.

"Yes, I came to get you," he said. "But it's good news -- they took Jesus instead. You are free to go! Right now! You are FREE TO GO!"

What happened? Grace!

Grace happened...and he was free!

Refresh your memory everyday -- that one day Grace appeared and paid your debt and set you free!
