Jesus' sacrifice

Have mercy on me, God, according to your faithful love! Wipe away my wrongdoings according to your great compassion! ~ Psalm 51:1 (CEB)

Christ sacrificed his life’s blood to set us free, which means that our sins are now forgiven. Christ did this because God was so kind to us. God has great wisdom and understanding... ~ Ephesians 1:7 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
Jesus' sacrifice sets us free -- wiping out the consequences of our wrongdoing and saving us from being controlled by wrongdoing.
PRAYER:
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the sacrifice which sets us free. You did this because you were kind. And the way that you pulled it off is a sign of your wisdom. Forgive me for being too casual about what you have given. Help me to become a living breathing example of your forgiveness so that others might join the company of those experiencing your love and grace. Amen.
