PRAY
Remember to pray & read the entire passage before beginning.
1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
1 Peter 2:24
WRITE
This whole chapter of 2 Peter is amazing. But as we near the celebration of our risen Savior, I wanted to focus on this verse. It is so powerful… the image of Christ physically carrying our sins on the cross.
- We often think of the physical torture, the physical pain of the crucifixion. But what do you think it may have felt like to bear all of the sins of the entire world – for all time – in his body on the cross?
- Consider the spiritual pain of the cross, the emotional pain of the cross, as well as the physical manifestation of these as Jesus hung on that cross for you.
- Write a prayer of thanksgiving to your Savior!
