"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." - Psalm 32:1
Despite more government regulations, the world shaking at trouble, natural disaster after natural disaster, I AM FREE. My freedom has been payed for once and for all. Throughout history, freedom of people-groups has come through great blood shed, heartache, and pain. No half hearted effort, no gold or silver, no innanimate objects, can purchase true freedom. NO, true freedom is purchased with blood.
Jesus Christ came to purchase the freedom of His people. He came to pay the bride price. He came as a ransom to set us free. What glorious freedom we enjoy because of Him.
If you were to take all of the curses for disobedience in the Bible and place them on Christ, this is what He undertook for you. If you take all the blessings and turn them around into their negative, He drank that cup for you. The wrath of God against sin was in the cup that Christ drank for you.
You stood at God's tribunal. You were put in the balance and found wanting. Guilty, was the charge. As the sentence was being pronounced, Jesus Christ came and received the sentence for you. You stood alone, but Christ came and stood with you. You were naked before the judge, but Christ came and clothed you, and pronounced the words, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." The gavel came down, and your charge was acquitted.
Christ was humbled, so you may be exalted. Christ was naked on the cross, so you may be clothed. Christ wore a crown of thorns, so you may ware a crown of righteousness. Christ descended into Hell, so you can ascend into Heaven. Lastly, Christ ascended into Heaven, so you can forever have an advocate with the Father.
Oh yes, "blessed is the man whose trespass is forgiven, whose sin is covered." Christ is your Lord. Christ has covered your sin. Praise be to the Lord.

"O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for the courts above."
