I will rescue a few people
from Israel and Judah.
I will forgive them so completely
that their sin and guilt
will disappear,
never to be found.
1 PETER 2:24 (CEV)
Christ carried the burden
of our sins.
He was nailed to the cross,
so we would stop sinning
and start living right.
By his cuts and bruises
you are healed.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Christ has disarmed sin.
DAILY FODDER
If sin has been rendered powerless on the cross, the only power it has in us is the power we give it.
PRAYER
Merciful Savior, I'm grateful that you took our sin to the cross, where it was crucified dead with you. Forgive me for digging it up from the grave and allowing the dead corpse of sin to reside in my house. Give me the courage to exorcise this deadly nuisance from my life. Since you overcame sin on the cross, you're the only one who can empower me to clear out this deceased rotting intruder. I'm going to lean into the new life you established through the resurrection to see this through. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
