The Cross Wasn’t Just About Sin… - Spiritually Fit Today

Welcome to Spiritually Fit Today with Arnie Cole and guest John Comstock. In this episode John shows how Jesus publicly defeated shame on the cross and how that truth transforms our identity, worth, and ability to receive God’s love. 4 R Action Steps Read — Read Hebrews 12:2 in your Bible and let the cross speak to both sin and shame: "Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Reflect — Ask: Where does shame show up in my life? Try this: imagine Jesus urgently seeking you and simply wanting to look you in the eyes. Notice what feelings surface. Respond — Short prayer: Lord, thank You that by the cross You scorned shame. Help me receive Your love, replace my shame with Your truth, and live as one loved by You. Amen. Reveal — Tell a trusted friend one way shame has affected you, share Hebrews 12:2, and invite them to try the imagination exercise together. When shame whispers, say the verse out loud.
