Jesus said, "Come unto me all you who are heavy ladened, and I will give you rest." He was speaking primarily of our struggles to obey the law of God and live a good life in our own power, but as is often the case with His words, they mean much more than what we first think of them. We carry with us a ledger of wrongs done to us, keeping track of what is owed us with interest. When we see that all these debts are paid on the cross of Christ, we can discard the books and resign the tedious and laborious task of moral accounting. All is paid in full. Nothing goes unpunished. All are crucified with Christ. In stead of laboring to ballance the books, we "labor to enter into that rest"(Hebrews 4:11)
