Jesus Has Circumscised Our Sinful Flesh

“In Whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:” Colossians 2:11

Jesus has circumcised our sinful flesh, now to circumcise means to cut off. It doesn’t mean to cover up, to just not consider, with circumcision there is a cut and then wham it’s instantly gone, and you know what I mean! A circumcision is quick and it is performed on new born babies! And because Jesus has circumcised our sinful flesh, we are now risen with Him and our bodies have been quickened, or made alive together, with His. This is what Jesus has done for us, He has performed an operation that allows us to stand as one with Him, eternally with our Father, God, and according to God because Jesus has done this we are able to stand with Him boldly. Jesus has made us one with Himself, so that we are now members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bone. The body of Christ is just like He is and we who have been quickened, now make up His body! We are now part of the One Whom God has made perfect in ever way and in every aspect. Jesus shed His blood, so that through one sacrifice, we all may stand righteous and complete forever more in Him! God has forgiven us all of our sins, and all of those ordinances, the do’s and the don’ts, Jesus took away and nailed them to the Cross. Jesus spoiled evil for us and He triumphed openly over the powers of the devil! This is for now, we are not just going to be complete in Jesus, praise God, we are complete in Jesus! Because we are one with Jesus!

It’s not hard either to be complete, because as we have learned, Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith, Hebrews 12:2, and Jesus' yoke is easy, Matthew 11:30. Jesus made it easy and He has given us the needed faith to accept Him and thus be perfect, glorified, holy, without blame, and filled with all of His fullness, and He has given us the ability to be as He is on this earth, because we are now actually one with Him! Through Christ we are ashamed of nothing, and through Christ we have complete and unbroken fellowship with our Father, Who now does His works through us. We have all of this on the earth, so that the world may believe and be saved. And it is all a free gift of God, and in no way could it ever be earned, we just use the faith that Jesus gave us and walk in the victory of His power.
