CHRIST IS THE SACRIFICE

ZEPHANIAH 3:14-15 (MSG)
So sing, Daughter Zion!
Raise the rafters, Israel!
Daughter Jerusalem,
     be happy! celebrate!
God has reversed his judgments against you
     and sent your enemies off chasing their tails.


1 JOHN 2:2 (CEV)
Christ is the sacrifice that takes away our sins and the sins of all the world’s people.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God deals with all sin and sinfulness through the sacrifice of Christ.

PRAYER
O loving Savior, you suffered and died for this broken world. Yet in spite of your great sacrifice, we choose to live independently from you, building our lives on the false securities of wealth, position, and power. Turn us away from these false gods and toward you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministries edition)
