Across the Finish Line

In this powerful message, we're challenged to deepen our understanding of Christ's atonement. The focus shifts from seeing Jesus alone on the cross to recognizing ourselves there with Him. This perspective, rooted in Isaiah 53 and Colossians 2, reveals that Christ didn't just carry our sins as a burden, but became sin itself, absorbing our brokenness into His very being. We learn that from His incarnation, Jesus took on all of humanity, living a perfect life on our behalf. This profound union means His death was our death, His resurrection our resurrection. We're called to embrace this radical truth: we no longer live, but Christ lives in us. This isn't just theology; it's a life-changing revelation that frees us from the cycle of guilt and striving, inviting us to live from our new identity as beloved children of God.
