November 30, 2014 For Sale- As Is David C. McCasland Revelation 5:1-12 For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood. -Revelation 5:9 A house listed for sale As Is usually means the seller is unable or unwilling to spend any money to repair it or make it attractive. Any necessary repairs or desired improvements are the responsibility of the buyer after the purchase is complete. As Is on a real estate listing is equivalent to saying, Buyer beware. Home may require significant further investment. How remarkable that when Jesus died, He paid the highest price for each of us, regardless of our condition. Revelation 5 describes a scene in heaven where only The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David is found worthy to open and read a sealed scroll (vv.3-5). He appears as a Lamb and becomes the object of praise in a new song, For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth (vv.9-10). Jesus Christ willingly purchased us for God with His blood. We were bought as is, faults, defects, needed renovation included. By faith we are now under His ownership, in the process of remodeling for Gods glory. How wonderful that God knew us, loved us, and bought us just as we are. Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow. -Hall God knows us inside and out. No renovation project is too big for Him. Ezekiel 37-39; 2 Peter 2 © 2014 by RBC Ministries.
