"I feel the earth move..."
When a group of us walked this land a few month ago it was filled with cacti and weeds. My shoes were covered with cactus needles. In one short day all of that debris was removed and buried by this huge bucket in the hands of a skilled operator.
In one single day Christ buried your sin.
"When he had received the sour wine, Jesus said, "It is completed!" Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." John 19:30 New English Translation
Defining sin in today's world is difficult. You and I know that sin has separated us from God and brought death into the world. Yet the world doesn't see itself as separated from God. Instead, to many people, God resides in every human being, and even in the plants and animals. This view of God has no room for sin.
The only effective way to deal with sin is to bury it. Saying that humanity isn't separated from God does not make it a fact. This separation from God is reflected in how we deal with each other. If sin doesn't separate us from God (and it does) it surely separates us from others.
Our broken relationship with God has been buried with Christ. Sin lies in the grave. And we have life. Now that's earth moving!
