Romans 5:17 ESV For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.
A mother who loved his son paid the debt her son owed to be released from prison. The love of a mother and son is so wonderful. She no doubt remembers carrying her son long ago in her womb as she sang, talked to, touched, rubbed and loved him well before he took his first breath.
Then once that day came she was overjoyed to see her son being born. What a wonderful and powerful “love connection” these two had immediately upon his birth. Unfortunately the son was full of sin and evil flowing from his heart that he murdered his mother—he took her life! How sad that the mother had no idea she was paying for her own death! The one she loved so much and paid to have released from prison would pay her back by taking her life.
Jesus was born to die—paying for His own death and for the release of those captives who murdered Him by nailing Him to the tree! But unlike the sinful son who took his innocent mother's life, Jesus, the innocent One would give His life for His mother and lay down His life for the sins of the world—and take it up again on the third day! He paid for His own death and with his blood for the sinful ones who nailed His hands and feet.
Mary, no doubt remembers carrying her son long ago in her womb as she sang, talked to, touched, rubbed and loved Jesus well before he took his first breath.
Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you…
Romans 5:18-19 ESV Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
