We all want to be righteous. We act as if that’s who we are. We cover our sins as if they don’t exist. But only Jesus can take our sins away. Only he can offer us true peace that comes with the forgiveness of sins. Knowing what Jesus has done for us makes it so that we don’t have to be afraid to confess our guilt. Yes, I have sinned. Yes, I do deserve God’s wrath and condemnation. I deserve hell. In my life, in my heart are wicked things so shameful they make me weep. But God directs my tear-filled eyes to look to the cross. He says, “Do you see what I have done? There’s your judgment. There’s your condemnation. There’s your hell. It’s on Jesus. His perfect life and innocent sacrifice has saved you. It’s with his name that I have washed you of your guilt in Baptism. It’s with his holy body and blood that you are fed.”
