Scripture

Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he has been raised to life in the Spirit.

Observation

Christ was sinless, but He died to bring us sinners to God.

In His time of death, Jesus preached to the imprisoned spirits, rebels from before the time of Noah. Just as Noah and his family alone were saved by God from the judgement, now God saves us through the waters of baptism.

Application

Jesus saves us and His power to save is limitless.

He saves us from God’s judgement on sin because His blood washes away our sin.

He saves us from evil spirits because He is stronger than any of them.

He saves us from death because He rose from the grave and now sits in the place of authority in heaven.

Prayer

Thank you Jesus for your power to save us from judgement, death and evil. I receive your grace now. Amen.
