“He is the sacrifice for our sins. He takes away not only our sins but the sins of all the world.” 1 John 2:2 (NLT)

A few years ago, I participated in a course called The Ancient Paths put on by

Family Foundations International. It was a time of beautiful healing for me.

After bringing my stuff to Jesus time and time again at the cross - every detail,

every bad thing, every lie that had been whispered to me, every wrong turn I

had taken, I was amazed again by the power of Jesus, and especially Jesus on

the cross.

I got a glimpse, even in just a small way, of what He must have experienced on

the cross. Besides the humiliation, besides the physical pain, He took the sins of the

world on him. As I looked at the stuff I had in my life – the pain, the disappointments,

the sin, knowing how heavy these things had been in my heart, I couldn’t imagine

Him carrying the sins and pain and disappointments of every person who has ever

lived and will ever live on this earth. But He did. He broke through and created space

for each and every one of us. That power is now available to us as we bring our lives to Him.

This is our Jesus, amazing God who became man, my Superhero.
