“…you have cast all my sins behind your back.” Is38.17 ESV
One question will often come up when Brenda and I are taking a long hike. She will inevitably ask if we a coming back the same way we are going out. She usually asks this when she wants to discard something like a sweater that has gotten to hot to wear. If we are coming back the same way, she will hide it in a bush and retrieve it on the way back to the car.
We can find comfort in the knowledge, that when God discards our sins, He has no intention of coming back the same way and retrieving them. When He casts our sins behind His back, He walks on and remembers them no more. Gods forgives, and He forgets. And, He forgives all our sins, not just some of them. We may well wonder why, when we know the seriousness of some of the things we have done.
The reason of course is Jesus. In some way we do not understand, God placed our sins on Him at the cross and turned His back on His own son in judgment. Remember His words, “Why has thou forsaken me?” God has buried our sins at Calvary. He has no intention of coming back this way again. 3/8/2008 ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
