DAY 33
Chasing Jesus - Day 33
Day 33 Scripture:
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:1–8
Prayer Prompt: Life and Peace
Tomorrow we begin to walk through the events leading to the cross. As we step into the last section of scriptures we want to focus our hearts on the why. Why would Jesus enter Jerusalem knowing his death was coming?
To do what we could never do. The law could only reveal our sin. His blood paid our debt. Our flesh is hostile to the things of God blinding us and keeping us chasing our own destruction. His sacrifice sets us free-there is no more condemnation. His Spirit opens our eyes and gives us life and peace. Ask the Lord to give you a fresh awareness of the grace you have been given. Ask for God to move your heart for those still lost in sin.
