Karma's prevailing truth: Sin requires judgment.
The Karma of Judgment is the one common theme in all of religion. Karma is a freight train of fury bearing down on injustice. It is a legitimate fear that haunts the sleep of evil doers.
And the governor Pilot had every reason for precaution the night Jesus was crucified. With a clear understanding of karma, in fear and cowardice he made an outward attempt at self preservation by asking for a basin of water, washing his hands in full view of the world, and absolving himself of any association.
When he did this, a whole nation represented by a few in history stood up and said “we will take the karma, we and our children”.
BUT
One man, alone on the tracks, on the darkest day in human history, stood down that freight train of fury.
In this one act of incredible courage and love, God, in the man Jesus, on a wooden cross, all alone, chose to become the lightning rod for karma… and absorbed in his own body the full weight and fury of the wrath due unrighteousness, absolving for all time, all of humanity, of any guilt by association.
"He who knew no sin became sin for us so we could become the righteousness of God in Him." Not only was his own body decimated by sin but the power of sin and its freight train of righteous karma was also destroyed in this one cataclysmic stand of incredible LOVE.
As He stood absorbing the full impact of judgment and fury, He looked out at His accusers and breathed forgiveness….and in so doing authorized us as righteous sons and daughters to do the same. Not only was sin dealt a destructive death blow but you and I became the Authorized Version for obliterating through mercy and grace on this earth any leftover karma.
How sweet is that…no more karma against us or through us.
You and I as believers are no longer instruments of karma! Instead you and I have become His Authorized Righteous Representatives to partner with Him in acts of LOVE, MERCY and GRACE in an orphaned and broken world.
Love won on the cross. Now through the cross you and I have become LOVE. That is who we are! Love now wins through you and me. Forgiveness reigns and karma stands on its head.
