Imagine you are standing in front of a judge, guilty of multiple serious crimes. All the evidence has been presented and there is no doubt about your guilt. Your apologies and good works cannot erase your crimes; therefore you must be punished. The fine for your crime is $250,000 or imprisonment, but you dont have two pennies to rub together. The judge is about to pass sentence when someone you dont even know steps in and pays your fine for you. The court accepts the money and declares that you are free to go. The law has been satisfied, your debt has been paid in full, and the strangers sacrifice was a demonstration of his love for you. Thats what God did for you over 2000 years ago. Jesus Christ suffered and died on the cross for your sins and mine so that we could be set free. Then He rose again from the dead and defeated death. Its as simple as this—we broke the Law, and Jesus paid our fine. Its Friday, and man is it Good.
