The Funeral Of Your Sins

The Funeral Of Your Sins…

Hata‘ah is the Hebrew word used for the sacrifice that took away sin. The same word means sin. The sacrifice and the sin were called by the same name.

It means that the sacrifice for sin became one with the sin it was taking up – so much so, that the person offering up that sacrifice would see in it the dying of their sin.

So in 2 Corinthians 5:21 it says, “God made Him who knew no sin, to become sin, for us, that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” Jesus is the Hata‘ah.

When He died on Calvary, sin actually died on Calvary. Rage, jealousy, addiction, bondage, darkness, your past, was crucified. When He dies it’s over, it’s gone, and it’s dead.

Jesus didn’t just become an offering for sin, He became sin itself. And you can receive that your sin is actually gone for real. Live in the light of the fact that your sins have actually been killed.

The past is dead. For He who knew no sin, became sin for you, that you who did not know holiness, would become by that same miracle, holy.

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

Today, hold a funeral for your old sins. Rejoice that they are dead, gone, buried, and never coming back!

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
