Investing your trust in Yeshua as messiah is not unlike school loan consolidation, when you think about it. Instead of attempting to keep track of numerous debts, you are taking the opportunity to pull them all in one big pile that can be dealt with all in one act.

Where the analogy breaks down, of course, is that while student loans can seem insurmountable, the debt for our sins is not something we can ever satisfy on our own. There is only one payment that can balance the scales between haShem and humanity, and only Y’shua was qualified to pay it.

If you commit a crime with a friend, you cannot serve your friend’s sentence for him, because you are guilty as well; only an innocent man can take the place of a guilty man and still have the debt considered paid in full. And only Yeshua qualified for that job. He is the spotless Pesach Lamb.
