In Colossians chapter 2:11-14, we see many things Jesus is willing to do for us. Jesus is willing to give us victory over sin: "In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ". Jesus is willing to be our substitute: "having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 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". Jesus is willing to cancel our debt: "by canceling the record of debt". Jesus is willing to free us from the law's demands: "that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross".
Family Worship Guide Memory verse: Col. 2:13 Read the verses and then answer the following questions: Day 1: Col.2:11, Rom.2:29 What did physical circumcision always prefigure? What does it mean that Jesus died for our salvation and sanctification? What is the difference between the two? Why can't the law produce our sanctification any more than it can produce our salvation? Day 2: Rom.6:3-4, 23, Acts 2:24, Col.2:12-13 Why do we need a substitute? In what ways is Jesus willing to serve as our Substitute? Why couldn't the grave hold Christ? (why couldn't He remain dead?) What does "baptized" mean? In what ways were we baptized into Christ? What does water baptism represent? In other words, what does water baptism demonstrate about our relationships with Christ? Day 3: Col.2:13-14,Jn. 16:8,Rom.3:21-28 Describe the debt that we owe God.
