Author James Herriot tells of an unforgettable wedding anniversary he and his wife celebrated early in their marriage. His boss had encouraged Herriot to take his wife to a fancy restaurant, but Herriot balked. He was a young veterinarian and couldn\u2019t really afford it. \u201cOh, do it!\u201d the boss insisted. \u201cIt\u2019s a special day!\u201d Herriot reluctantly agreed and surprised his wife with the news.<\/p>\n
En route to the restaurant, Herriot and his wife stopped at a farm to examine a farmer\u2019s horse. Having finished the routine exam, the young vet returned to his car and drove to the restaurant, unaware that his checkbook had fallen in the mud. After a wonderful meal, Herriot reached for his checkbook and discovered it was gone. Quite embarrassed, he tried to offer a way of making it up.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot to worry,\u201d the waiter replied. \u201cYour dinner has been taken care of!\u201d Herriot\u2019s employer had paid for the dinner in advance.<\/p>\n
God has done the same for us. Jesus\u2019 word on the cross, \u201cIt is finished,\u201d is a Greek term meaning \u201cpaid in full.\u201d<\/p>\n
