Our Resume of Failures (Colossians 2:9-15)
For many of us, it might be easier to come up with a list of our shortcomings or mistakes than it is to come up with a list of our successes. But through Jesus, all of our sins are forgiven. No other religion or human philosophy or self-help system could overcome our resume of failures. Nothing can truly wipe our slate clean in the way that Jesus can.
Because Jesus has triumphed over it all, we no longer have to carry the overwhelming weight of our past mistakes or keep score of the failures of others or surrender to hopelessness when we witness sorrow and injustice. Your record of debt has been canceled, the slate wiped clean, nailed to the cross once and for all.
