And through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
It is Christ’s blood that removes every guilty stain of sin and allows us to live completely forgiven, free from guilt and condemnation. According to Colossians 1:21–22, “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight.” No wonder the gospel is called good news.
I encourage you to thank God regularly for sending Jesus. He has done more for us than we may realize. He freely provides every blessing to those who least deserve it, and all He asks is that we believe in Him and let His light shine through us so that others might come to know and believe in Him also.
Prayer of the Day: Father, I thank You for sending Jesus and for His sacrifice of His blood, which has cleansed me from all sin. Help me always appreciate what You have done for me through Jesus. In His name I pray, amen.
