Jesus IS Lord!
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.”
-- Psalm 122:6
Redemption
One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting.
“Yes, sir, I just caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap, used bait I knew they couldn't resist. Got ’em all!”
“What are you going to do with them?” Jesus asked.
Satan replied, “Oh, I’m gonna have fun! I’m gonna teach them how to marry and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other. I’m gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill each other. I’m really gonna have fun!”
“And what will you do when you get done with them?” Jesus asked.
“Oh, I’ll kill ’em,” Satan glared proudly.
“How much do you want for them?” Jesus asked.
“Oh, you don’t want those people. They ain’t no good. Why, you’ll take them and they’ll just hate you. They’ll spit on you, curse you and kill you.”
“How much?” He asked again.
“You don’t want those people!!” Satan shouted!
Jesus asked again, “How much?”
Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, “All your blood, tears and your life.”
Then Jesus paid the price, in full.
Jesus said, “ IT IS DONE! ”
