Jesus Christ is
the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and not for ours only but also
for the sins of the whole world.
1 John 2:2
Fancy word: Do you know what “atone” means? It means to make amends, to make reparations, to pay for a crime.
Jesus paid for our crime. He made reparations for our sins. He IS the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Wait. Let’s get personal. First, he died to save you. You. If you were the only person on earth who ever sinned, he would have died just for you.
John wants you to see that. But he also wants you to see the bigger picture. It’s about you … but it’s also a billion times bigger than you. He has a solution for every person who’ve ever lived and ever will live.
And once we understand the Gospel – personally – it’s our job to help others comprehend the gift to.
In Christ’s Love,
A guy who spells atone “AT ONE”
– his action makes us at one with him
