Nailed to the Cross

Communion is a time to consider what Jesus did for us on the cross.  By taking away our debt of sin, he gave us forgiveness, but what does that really mean? Colossians 2:13-14(NIV) 13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross Here Paul uses a legal term to talk about how our sin was a charge against us involving indebtedness –
