Understanding salvation

This is a true life story, used as an allegory to teach salvation. Read with understanding.

When I was about 8/9 years old, my cousin came to stay with us for some time in my parents house. So, on this day my mum was not around.  so, my cousin and I started playing with my mum sewing machine.

 I didn't play with it much because I know the laws guiding it but my cousin enjoyed himself and I can't correct him to stop because he's way older than me. As he was playing he broke the iron connecting the treadle to the band wheel.

Wow, that's some nice and cool debt.  Lol

We started looking at each other, but there was silence he knows he did it, but all that was going in my heart was just thought. It was as though their should be a rewind moment and everything comes back to order.

My mum won't beat him but the insult will be enough to commit suicide ⏩⏩

So wen my mum came back and saw the machine she screamed and was like 

"Who did this".

She was very angry and and ready to know the culprit. So before my cousin could signify, I said I was the one.

Hmmmm

On saying I was the one, some slaps landed in my cheek, I think that should correct my understanding that I was taking someone else's pain upon myself. But no I don't want our relationship to be interrupted. So I took some lashes for him.

Well- while I was young I suffered many punishment for pple just because I can't bear it seeing them sad. (Was it foolishness?)

 Anyways.

... So, then anytime you're beating me and I'm not crying out loud, and I'm just shedding tears, it means I didn't do it. But nobody knew that..

After the slaps, series of beatings followed.

My cousin stood there watching me, he was confused, my daddy came home and I was reported again.

 So my mum asked my cousin why he didn't tell me to stop while I was playing with the sewing machine.

He didn't know what to say.

I only did that because I know if my cousin was scolded we won't have a good relationship together again. Because that's not his house.

Will anybody come and accuse my cousin of that offence? No

 I took the pain for him, only what he needed is that he should accept that I truly suffered for his own offence. 

It has been paid

Who is owing the debt and who paid the debt doesn't matter as far as the debt is paid. The debtor is free.

Jesus paid the debt already, so we're free when we aknowledge it.

REM: There is a sin that is to God and there is a sin to self and there Is a sin to fellow men.

Everyone of them is a debt that has a price .

But the one with God has been paid for.

Thank you
