Presidential Pardon

Romans 8: 32 “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things”

This past Friday, President Joe Biden participated in the 74th annual Thanksgiving turkey pardon of “Peanut Butter” in the Rose Garden at the White House. The 2021 National Thanksgiving Turkey, “Peanut Butter”, and alternate “Jelly”, were raised in Jasper, Indiana and will reside on the campus of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana, now that they have been officially pardoned. Unlike these birds, the rest of our turkeys are the only ones NOT giving thanks on this special occasion!

In Romans 8:32 we received the ultimate pardon from an eternity in hell because Jesus paid the price for us all. We received a pardon from sin, past, present and future. We have been spared the punishment that was due us because of God's great mercy. But He didn’t stop there. It goes on to say, “How shall He not with Him also freely give us all things“. Not only were you and I pardoned but we were freely given all things! God is so good. “With Him” you are already healed. “With Him” you are already restored. “With Him” you are already prosperous. I could go on and on. This Thanksgiving, give thanks for your pardon AND for Him freely giving us ALL things. Happy Thanksgiving.
