On the Cross, Jesus took the shame you’re so desperate to avoid so that you never have to experience that shame. In Jesus, you are loved and forgiven and totally accepted—no matter what you’ve done or what’s been done to you. Jesus paid your debt. This means when you are honest with God about your rebellion, there will be no anger or condemnation, there will be only love and forgiveness. Jesus lived the life you could never live and now grants to you all the righteousness he has earned, which means you can stop trying to make everyone believe you’re perfect and you have it all together. Your right standing, your reputation—it’s already secure. So be free. Don’t wait to repent. Don’t hold onto your secrets a moment longer. Hold onto Jesus tighter.
