Meditation:
Forgetting those things which are behind… I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

Explanation:
A certain businessman was notorious for saving almost everything that came across his desk – especially correspondence. Consequently, the files in his office were bulging. One day his secretary asked if she might dispose of all the old, useless material. The man was reluctant, but finally said, “Well all right, but be sure you make a copy o everything before you throw it away.”
That’s the way some Christians handle their sins. They know that Jesus paid the penalty, but somehow they can’t let go of the guilt. It’s as if Christ suffering were not enough, and they must contribute some of their own anguish by continually lamenting their failures. They want to keep copies of everything they’ve done. How foolish!
The apostle Paul wanted nothing of this. He accepted as an accomplished fact the removal of all his guilt before God because Christ’s death had marked PAID IN FULL over his account. The memory of earlier days remained vivid, but it didn’t weigh him down. Everything that happens to us is retained in that remarkable filing system call “memory”. A wise forgetfulness based on Christ’s atoning sacrifice can keep all guilt feelings from cluttering up our life.
The Lord forgiveness our sins because of Calvary, And He himself remember them no more; So let us not be burdened with their memory, but look ahead to all He has in store.
Guilt is a burden God never intended His children to bear…
Alam natin na ang kapatawaran n gating mga kasalanan ay dahil sa krus doon sa Kalbaryo. At kahit si Hesus ay hindi na inaalala ang numang kasalanan natin mula noong tinalikuran natin ang kasalanan. At binibigyan tayo ng laya na tumingin ng malaya sa hinaharap at gamitin ang mga bagay na biyaya ni Hesus sa atin.
