Because He died, we can live. Because He obeyed, we can be forgiven. Because He was condemned, we can be saved.

Following Jesus is not about better, faster, stronger, and higher. It is about recognizing our helplessness, admitting our guilt, and receiving His sacrifice on our behalf. Everything depends on the crucifixion and resurrection. Everything.

When you trust Jesus for your salvation, all of your sins are completely forgiven. Every one. Even the worst of them.

Romans 8:33-34 says, “Who will bring any charge against those who God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”

Jesus’ journey to Calvary makes our journey to eternal life possible. If we trust in the sacrificial death and triumphant resurrection of Jesus, our victory is certain. We have an ironclad guarantee of forgiveness, grace, and eternal life if we will receive Christ’s sacrifice on our behalf.

We want to give you the opportunity to physically nail to the cross the sins that weigh you down. Do this as a reminder that Jesus has paid the cost for those sins, so you don’t have to. Jesus has borne their burden, so your conscience need no longer be weighed down. Jesus will carry us to Heaven, so we need not try to “earn” our way there.

Using the paper and pens that are provided on the tables, write down those sins that seem to stick to you like glue. Also write down those memories that continue to mentally condemn you. Then take your paper and nail it to the cross. Hear Jesus say, “It is finished.”
