11.3 Charge That to My Account Treasures for the Soul
-
- Christianity
Brothers and sisters, today’s topic of Treasures for the Soul is “Charge That to My Account.”
In the Letter to Philemon, Paul wrote “charge that to my account,” which is a very precious line. In Cantonese, it means “I’ll be responsible for all.” Onesimus was indebted to Philemon. Yet, what he owed Philemon is incomparable to what we owed God. The Lord has taken full responsibility for us. He was so eager to give, even to die on the cross. He gave Himself for us. When we returned to the Lord, Abba and the Lord were very joyful. We did not ask God, but it was Abba that made the Lord our High Priest by an oath. It’s so precious that the Lord has taken full responsibility for all our needs in this life and eternity.
