A study from Vince Baker Ministries
What did Jesus accomplish on the cross?
Read Romans 5 for reconciliation and Colossians 2 for forgiveness and triumph. Peter also places Jesus’ suffering before believers as an example, including His response to insult. Reading across these settings helps connect the work of the cross with the way a Christian acts under pressure.
Forgiveness, Reconciliation, and Victory
The collection returns to the defeat of hostile powers. Paul places triumph in a paragraph about sins forgiven and debts canceled. Reflect on both themes together. A personal application can begin with receiving forgiveness and treating another person with mercy.
Put one quote into practice
