Nov 27 - Colossians 2:13-14

God forgave us all our trespasses,

erasing the record that stood against us

with its legal demands.

He set this aside,

nailing it to the cross.

Colossians 2:13-14

What was nailed to the cross? Two things:

1.       Our Savior’s hand, and …
2.       Our handiwork.

Unfortunately, what we work is not very handy. As it says in Colossians 2, our record that’s nailed to the cross is only and utterly a criminal record.

Santa may make a list and check it twice, and our record, according to North Pole lore, will be an evaluation of both naughty and nice. In heaven, however, this record is only naughtiness and criminal complaint. Sin.

But what happens to it?!!

1.      When we put our trust in Christ (present tense) …
2.      our sins will have been nailed to the cross (present and past tense) …
3.      and we will be set free eternally (present and future tense).  

In Christ’s Love,

A guy who’d rather be

On Jesus’ permanent list

Than Santa’s ever-changing list
