This illustration is what we believe when we are saved.We teach being saved is being justified.We compare this teaching to the Owner who runs a big store selling construction materials. He is invariably placing some of the materials in front of the store for a side walk sale.But the appropriate materials on the side walk are never discounted. To get into the store the potential buyer must purchase the materials at the maximum price. Consequently, you cannot get through the front doors unless you produce the maximum price. You pick out your buys; the manager calculates them up and gives you the receipt.You look at the receipt, and it reads no necessary payment. With shock look on your face you ask "Why was the price reduced to zero?' The manager looks with a smile and said "The Son of the owner offered the maximum price for you. "Now you can go into the local store!"He opens the door, and it reads the sanctification deals. You look around and instantly notice everything is marked down. You ask the local manager "Why is everything marked down? He responds"I merely decided to marked down prices." You say "These prices are a little to steep for me. Why would you mark the prices down when the Son had to offer the maximum price to promote them?"The owner says "The Son desires you to pay for the materials". You say" I would, but I can't pay the reduced prices. Will you negotiate?The manger declares" your out of luck bud. I decide the price." You say," I think the Owner would not accept your expensive prices."I need talking to the Owner. I think I will divert my money to another store."

The guy who curses gets into the store. He notifies the owner" I cannot pay these sale prices.I want to offer the maximum price.I respect the Son who had to offer the maximum price, or I am not allowed in this store. I genuinely thought the wealthy owner had one standard payment since the Son must be properly honored". The manger responds."If the Owner imposes the maximum price, the Son must pay". You respond,"I justly thought the Owner had unlimited bank account."He leans in and quietly says, "The truth is when you were outside the store, He was very gracious, but in the sanctification section He is a miser." The pragmatic manage politely tells him he needs to voluntarily leave.

 Cursing and blessing are apt metaphor for the sacrifices in the Psalms. The Psalms are carefully written in authoritative pronouncements of the law, covenants, curses, etc. placing the sins of the people on the animal by the pronouncement.The sacred ashes of the sacrifice are a apt metaphor for the eternal curses coming together with the divine blessing being made transparent by purifying the soul through burning up the defective image. Its purified by experiencing mystery. This is when the curse comes together with the divine blessing. The Psalms open constantly in the cultural context of exalting God. Not acceptance after the bodily sacrifice. Consequently, the context is properly pronouncing a joyful heart. In Ps 20 is properly using these pronouncements as creative words on behalf of the dear saints.
