Declared Innocent

Day 3: Declared Innocent

Reading: Isaiah 53:4-6; John 18:38; 19:4-6

Devotional: Three times Pilate declared, "I find him not guilty." Jesus was the spotless Lamb, the perfect sacrifice without blemish. Yet He was condemned so that we could be declared innocent. This is the beautiful exchange at the heart of the gospel—His righteousness for our sin, His innocence for our guilt.

You don't have to carry shame anymore. Whatever you've done, wherever you've failed, Jesus has already paid the price. When you believe in Him, God pronounces you "not guilty." This isn't based on your performance but on Christ's perfection. Today, let this truth sink deep into your soul: you are forgiven, you are clean, you are made right with God. Walk in the freedom of your new identity as one declared innocent by the Judge of all creation.
