Passage of the Day: 12/17/08
Psalm 103:12 “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgression from us.”
Through Jesus’ death on the cross, He took the sins of all of us on Himself and died our death as a blood sacrifice for our sins and then carried them away an infinite distance from where they will never return again. The Bible describes this distance as, “as far as the east from the west.” The east and the west, unlike the north and south pole, don’t have fixed reference points. A direction becomes east or west depending on which direction is being taken. And as you go one direction you never get near the other. So they are both infinitely far from each other. That’s how far God has removed our sins from us once He forgives us. Isn’t that great?
