PROPITIATION for SINS

“He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.”

1 John 2:2

PROPITIATION. That’s a mouthful! It’s even harder to type. And, it’s probably not the first word you think of when you’re praising God. “Lord, You are love, joy, peace” rolls off our tongues a little easier than “Lord, You are the propitiation for my sins.” However, what trouble we’d be in if this did not describe our Savior. What does it mean? Satisfaction.  Do you remember the song that included the lyrics, “I can’t get no satisfaction”? Until Christ offered His life as a sacrifice for our sins, man tried every way to make up for sin. But, we might have heard the words, “I can’t get no satisfaction” flowing from heaven’s throne. Man’s attempts did not satisfy Holy God. Jesus Christ did satisfy God. And so we sing His praises!

Lord, thank You for being the PROPITIATION for my sins and for the sins of the whole world!
