There was a time when all the mistakes and sins were mine and mine alone. I owned it outright and the shame that went with it was also mine alone to bear. But on a hill far away, my Savior came and bought the title for my sin and shame. Jesus purchased it just like the car that was sold - once my car (shame) has been purchased I no longer have a claim on it.
I don’t have the right to hold my sin and shame, because it is quite simply no longer mine to hold. And since it has been purchased at such a terribly high price, I can no longer lay claim to it.
Don’t carry this burden around, when there is a willing Buyer waiting to take it off your hands.
He personally carried our sins
in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
and live for what is right.
By his wounds
you are healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
