all

I am a worship leader. I love it. I love the fact that I get to get in front of people and play music, but besides that I love that I have the "duty" or "responsibility" to lead people into worship. Its awesome. This week I am not at Northstar I am leading for a different congregation and I am looking forward to it. We are playing a song called Jesus Paid it All. Its an old hymn, but a guy named Kristian Standfill redid it and made it very cool. Anyways, I was just sitting here listening to our lineup for Sunday and got stuck listening to this song.
I know all of us know what the word "all" means, but I think therein lies the problem. It is such a common phrase that we sometimes just skip right over it. So I looked up the definition, just to refocus myself, heres what I came up with...

"used to emphasize the greatest possible amount of a quality"
"used to refer to the whole quantity"
"completely"

Wow. Jesus paid it all. Completely. Everything possible. HA! I know its common, the song is even common. But think about this. Jesus paid it all, every single thing. He did it for me and you. If you throw in a different word it completely changes everything. Jesus paid most, Jesus paid some, Jesus put a down payment on my sin.

NO. He paid it all. Every last bit, so much in fact, that there is nothing left that I have to pay. There is nothing that helps me get a better payment, its taken care of. All I have to do is acknowledge his payment, and just hand over the reigns of my life. Something that I need to do daily.
