Meditation...... Pastor Steve
“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of
your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave
us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its
regulations, that was against us; he took it away, nailing it to the
cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made
a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.”
