Daily Devotional
Are you refusing the judge’s pardon?


BIBLE MEDITATION:

For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Matthew 26:28

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

In 1829, George Wilson was found guilty and given the death sentence for murder. But Wilson had some friends who petitioned President Andrew Jackson for a pardon. Jackson granted the pardon, and it was brought to prison and given to Wilson.

To everyone’s surprise, Wilson said, “I am going to hang.” There had never been a refusal to a pardon, so the courts didn’t know what to do. Discussion went all the way to the Supreme Court, and Justice John Marshall gave this ruling: “A pardon is a piece of paper, the value of which depends upon the acceptance by the person implicated. If he does not accept the pardon, then he must be executed.”

ACTION POINT:

God loves you and wants to pardon you, but if you refuse Him, you will die and go to hell. Cast yourself upon Him completely, and receive the free gift of His forgiveness today.
