“But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation” Colossians 1:22 (NIV)
We have been celebrating the birthday of our Savior Jesus Christ. His coming to earth in bodily form has made a tremendous difference for God's human creatures. This is emphasized in today's verse. It was in God's plan to have His Son come and live here on earth in a physical body just like ours and then to die a physical death as a substitute for us. We were enemies of God but He has reconciled us and brought us into His family. Our verse says that God's motive for all this was to present us holy in His sight without blemish. Friends, all who have believed in Jesus Christ can today stand before God without blemish or spot, perfect in His sight – that is our promise. Although we have our failings, if we are trusting in Jesus as our Savior, God accepts us as without blemish in His sight.
