Pastor Charles A.R.’s “Acquittal”
Published on January 12, 2024
Acquittal is a story of redemption, a melody that resonates with the symphony of amazing grace to the undeserving.
In Zecharia 3, Joshua, the high priest, stands before God draped in the heavy cloak of his nation’s sins, willing yet unable to curb their rebellious spirit. Satan, the accuser, stands to his right, readily counting his faults, sins, and failures, casting judgment and delivering the condemned before a righteous God.
Enter Pastor Charles, who encounters this passage with an unexpected resonance.
Feeling the weight of his guilt, he stands in the feet of Joshua, guilty as charged for the works of his flesh and defeated in shame on every count.
The echoes of self-condemnation reverberate through his soul for his inability to stand on the straight and narrow, failing to carry his Savior’s name with strength.
Yet divine intervention unfolds as God’s rebuke of Satan echoes through time, silencing the enemy’s allegations. In this sacred moment, the captive is set free- all charges forgotten, all debts paid. Cleansed in the blood of Jesus, both men are restored to righteousness.
Self-recrimination is for the lost, the chosen revel in the grace given by the Almighty- the only One with the power to condemn, that blesses those with unwavering faith with mercy.
