"By canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross."
The cross is the principal object of our salvation. Through his sorrowful Passion and death, Jesus Christ offered incomparable redeeming benefits to mankind, namely:
*We have been set free from sin (Rom 8:2)
*He has cancelled our spiritual debts, our sins (1Peter 2:24). Our debts were paid because of his sacrifice on the cross.
*We are truly convinced of God's infinite love and care for us and the whole world. (John 3:16).
Prayer: Father when I go through problems of live, depression, thoughts of committing suicide, substance abuse, abusive relationship, help me to be aware of your loving presence and care. In Jesus name.
