Nehemiah 8-9, Isaiah 38, Colossians 2
What God said to me – Have you ever thought about what the substitutionary death of My Son on the cross means? In ancient days a handwritten certificate of debt detailing the specific crimes for which a decree of death was issued was displayed at the execution to validate that death was required in order to pay the debt for the crimes committed. My sinless Son had no certificate of debt displayed for His own sin because He had none, but your certificate of debt was nailed to the cross signifying that He was paying your debt for you. Your certificate of debt was cancelled because He paid the price for you, so you are no longer under the curse of death or the penalty of death. He made you alive together with Him having forgiven you of all of your transgressions. You received this forgiveness by grace through faith so now walk in Him in the same way. Let Me use this time to firmly root you in your faith and establish you. You use this time to worship and to express your overflowing gratitude for My grace and mercy.
