He Took Your Blame

Sunday, 8 February 2026,

"And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight" (Colossians 1:21-22).

How gracious and loving the Lord is; to think that He actually took responsibility for your errors! He took responsibility for your sins. All that time you were blaming yourself for something terrible that you did, you actually didn't have to, because God put all the blame on the Lord Jesus.

When He hung on the Cross, all your sins and mistakes; past, present and future were fully remitted. So, today, even when Satan and others blame you, or you blame yourself, it makes no difference. There's no judgement against you, for the Bible says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" (Romans 8:1).

There're people who, when they do something wrong, find it difficult to forgive themselves, sinking into guilt and regret. No! Believe in the Lord Jesus and what He accomplished for you. Stop blaming yourself. The Bible says, "And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight" (Colossians 1:21-22).

Think about it! He didn't say you never did anything wrong; rather, in spite of all the wrong things you've done, He's not mad at you. He reconciled you to Himself. He made you righteous, holy, sanctified, glorified and justified. That's Christianity. That's the Gospel. That's the message He sent us to tell the world; that He's not holding men's sins against them: "To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them." (2 Corinthians 5:19).

The price has been paid. The guilt has been lifted. Everyone who believes is free to live in God's righteousness, peace, and joy forevermore. Romans 5:8-10 says, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us...For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life." Hallelujah!

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for the wonderful truth of your Word. I rejoice because Jesus took my blame; now I live free from guilt, condemnation and accusation. I'm holy, unblameable, and unreproveable in your sight. I live in your presence justified, sanctified and glorified, rejoicing in the liberty of your grace, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
