The Glorious Glory of Good Friday by Paul Tripp

There are moments in Scripture where the only response is to silence whatever background noise is in your mind and allow yourself to be in heart-gripping, jaw-gaping, knee-weakening awe of the glorious glory of the debt-canceling grace of the suffering and death of Jesus.

Colossians 2:13-15 is one of those moments.

You can’t be in heart-silencing awe of this grace and minimize the seriousness of sin at the same time. The awe this passage is designed to produce is meant to yank us out of our moral apathy and into a kind of awareness and rejoicing in grace that not only produces gratitude, but a life of willing and joyful surrender.

“And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.” (ESV)

This Good Friday, stop and consider the life-changing glory of this explanation of the Savior’s work for us on the cross.

• Consider you Condition
• Consider God's Intervention
• Consider God's Victory
