PROBLEM SOLVED

ZECHARIAH 3:9 (MSG)
I’ll strip this land of its filthy sin, all at once, in a single day.

1 JOHN 2:2 (MSG/alt)
When Jesus Christ, righteous Jesus, served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good—not only ours, but the whole world’s.

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Jesus is God's solution to the sin problem.

DAILY FODDER
If Jesus is the solution for the world's sin problem why is sin still such a problem?

PRAYER
Thank you, God, for interjecting yourself into our tainted and broken world. I admit that even though I know that sin is still a problem I prefer to kick the can down the road to deal with it later. Increase my faith in Christ so that I can matter of factly own up to my sinfulness and better trust in his solution. I'm going to partner with our Savior to share his solution everywhere. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
