"The Gospel has many glorious effects--like not having to look over your shoulder any more."
-John Piper

What a solid quote! Be not wearied by the thought that your past is beyond overcoming and your sin beyond defeat. Your past was forgotten by the only One Whose forgetting has eternal implications (your salvation). Your failures were already defeated at the cross of the Gospel. And with that crucified Savior's rising, you, Christian, are risen to new life of freedom without regard to the guilt of the past.
The symbol of the empty cross is God's "go-ahead!" to the freedom of a joyous, Christian life.
