John Hagee (April-09-2025) Daily Devotional: Colossians 2:14 - …having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the Cross.
Jesus Christ nailed them to the Cross – every charge that was stacked against you. Every sin, He covered with His Blood. He became the propitiation for you.
Jesus’ action at Calvary made peace between humankind and a holy God. He took our place and became the payment for a debt He did not owe. His act of obedience repaired the breach between us; He broke down the wall that separated us (Ephesians 2:14).
When you accepted His invitation and welcomed Him into your heart, every accusation against you was covered in His Blood. Satan – the accuser of all believers – points his finger at us day and night, attempting to bring up all those old allegations, to drown us in shame and condemnation.
But when you enter the throne room of His grace and approach the Righteous Judge, and He demands the charges against you, an Advocate will defend you. He will announce that all of your sins are covered with His Blood, plunged into the depths of the ocean to never be remembered again. Though your sins were as scarlet, He washed them white as snow (Isaiah 1:18). There are no longer any charges. He nailed them to the Cross.
Blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. Jesus has liberated you from your past. Your future is in the hands of God – full of joy and honor and reward. He has set you free!
