Christ For Us



~ What The Lord Jesus Christ Has Done On Our Behalf! ~

Consider what we learn about Christ’s work on our behalf in three verses of Colossians.  Note that each section below continues the Scripture. 

For Me A Sinner (given spiritual life)  ~  And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him…” (Colossians 2:13a). 

For My Sins (forgiven)  ~  “…having forgiven you all trespasses…” (Colossians 2:13b). 

For The Law’s Record Of My Sin (cancelled)  ~  “…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.  …” (Colossians 2:14). 

For My Adversary--Satan (conquered)  ~  “… Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15). 

the key question:  “Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15).  This is the most important question you will ever answer.  If you do not answer it, or answer it incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
