Week Nine: Day One
Death Row
He took away that record with all its rules and nailed it to the cross.”
- Colossians 2 v 14
Standing before a judge is a scary place to be! Imagine standing in front of a judge that had evidence of every bad thing you’d ever done, thought and said! How much trouble would you be in?!
God’s a perfect judge, and if He says we’re guilty, then we deserve His justice! If we got billed £10 for every one of God’s rules we broke, we’d be in BIG debt!
The bad news is that the debt we owe is a lot more serious than just cash! For every ONE of God’s rules we break – we deserve the death penalty (being separated from God for ever in hell!) We’re on Death Row!!!
But the good news is that we haven’t got to stay there! Our “criminal record” was nailed with Jesus to the cross! Justice has been done, the debt’s paid in full and we can walk free!!!
