Worth His Life

You have no right to be shocked, if

when your time comes

no one stands to take that bullet you so deserve.

And therefore,

you have no right to not be shocked

that before your time even came

He stepped up there

and those nails through his hands paid the price for what was your debt.

You worked yourself in to that mess

(whether you meant to or not)

And for the things you have done and are yet to do,

you were indebted to Him, and deserving of death.

Yes, you deserved what was coming.

But with the bill still rising, He not only wiped away what was outstanding,

but with it, He wiped away

the reason for it and

the consequence of it,

and paid, in full,

what you could never afford.

While you offered nothing

He gave everything.

And this bought you life.

Do you feel like you were worth that price?

Well He thought you were worth His life.

Does that change the way you look at things now?

Are you shocked?
