Last year around that time, I got a ticket for failure to stop completely at a stop sign and three demerit points.
I take the same road and drive in the same street almost every day. When the police stopped me, I honestly was ignoring the reason, I did not realise at all that I haven’t come to a complete stop. My brain froze when the officer started to speak to me, I just took the ticket and left.
After thinking over and over of what happened, I felt it was unfair. But then I thought about it again, maybe I truly did not stop fully? The law will still apply and I cannot run away. I will have to pay the offence and declare that I am guilty.
For some reason, I felt in my heart, I will fight for the ticket and see what the prosecutor can do for me, and what would be the final decision of the judge for me?
I finally got my early resolution date. For the first time ever, I stand in court, before a judge who asks me if I was guilty of that offence. My answer to him was of course a positive one.
Then… all I did, is burst into tears and started to cry uncontrollably. Not because I was guilty, or because the judge was unfair to me. On the contrary, I felt such a favor and grace in the whole process (I had my demerit points removed and charge reduced).
I cried, because all I could think about is Jesus who cancelled my debt. He took it away, nailed it to the cross! 2 Colossians 2:14
Because the accuser has been hurled down! Revelation 12:9
Because the punishment that brought me peace was upon Him! Isaiah 53:5
Because He bore it ALL for me! Isaiah 53:4
Because He defeated and disarmed all principalities and powers! Colossians 2:15
Because I am justified through Christ. Romans 5:1
Because I have been redeemed from the curse of the law. Galatians 3:13
Because I have been adopted by the most tender and gracious Father, He calls me His daughter. Galatians 4:5
In this situation, I was able to pay this offence charge, but thinking of what Christ did for me. Cancelling completely my debt, because no matter what, I will never be able to pay for it. No matter what, I would never be able to purchase true Freedom. He did it all for me. It is all done. He took my guilt and nailed it to the cross, to set me free and give me eternal life with Him, in heavenly places.
His redemption is perfect and His work is completed. It is finished! John 19:30 “It is finished, it stands finished, and it always will be finished!”
For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.Psalm 22:28
