Are you familiar with the legal term “double jeopardy”? It means that a person can’t be tried for the same crime twice. 

In God’s system, it means the same, which is an incredible blessing. Jesus was tried for all the sins we’ve committed and that we will commit. God has promised to not try us for sins that Jesus has been convicted of and paid for on our behalf. Our sins past and future are paid for with the blood of Christ once for all of eternity. 

As if that weren’t enough of a blessing, there’s more. 

Hebrews 2:17 explains that after Jesus died for our sins, He entered into God’s presence and became our High Priest.

“Therefore, He [Jesus] had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.”

The resurrected Christ who paid for our sins with His very life is now seated at God’s right hand. What is He doing? Praying for us. 

Jesus is praying for you. Personalize this unbelievable blessing and gift by saying out loud, “Jesus is praying for me.” Go to Him in gratitude. Live for Him faithfully.

Lord Jesus, I praise You, my Lord and high PRIEST! Thank You for taking my place at the judgment seat and dying for my sins past and future. Show me how I can gratefully serve You.

Jesus demonstrated the greatest love when He died on the cross for our sins. To learn more about His ultimate sacrifice, watch Debbie’s teaching on John 19 HERE or listen to it HERE.
