First John chapter 2, verse 2,

to Jesus is the propitiation for our sins,

and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

Yes, what an amazing verse flows from what we prayed according to in 1st John chapter 1 verse 9 how

Jesus has paid the penalty for our sins this is what it means for him to be the

propitiation for our sins.

He is the one who stands in the gap, who endures the just judgment, the just wrath of God do sin on our behalf turns aside that wrath, that justice

from us in such a way that we are saved, we are free, we are rescued from the just judgment we deserve.

This is the gospel in a word, propitiation.

It's a great word.

Just meditate on that word. Jesus has endured the just judgment you deserve. But not just you, that's the point. 1st John 2 too.

He's a preparation for our sin and not for ours only,

but also for the sins of the whole world.

And there's a lot we could discuss here

theologically, but the picture is clear.

Exactly what John wrote in John chapter 3

from the mouth of Jesus, God so loved the whole world that he gave his son that

whoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life.

Jesus loves the whole world.

As we prayed according to in 2 Peter 3 9,

Jesus desires all people in the world to come to repentance.
