Sin, Brokenness, and the Life Jesus Brings

In week one, day four of In Light of the Cross, we kept exploring sin through the lens of the cross, focusing on how sin doesn’t just break God’s commands—it also forfeits the life God designed for us. Using Genesis 3, we talked about death as being cut off from the source of life, and read John 10:10 to see that Jesus came to give life to the full and undo the thief’s work. We unpacked four dimensions of brokenness caused by sin: our relationship with God, with others, with ourselves (shame), and with creation (the curse), tying this to creation’s groaning in Romans 8. We ended by reflecting on where we’ve experienced and contributed to this brokenness, then prayed the Lord’s Prayer together.
