10/17/2026 – Day 303 – “The Logos Crucified”/ “He didn’t need our death; our death needed Him.” And so, we will rise with Him and through Him.
“It was a cool desert night. The sky above us was stunning in its clarity. Its deep black background made visible a vast multitude of stars, which in some places were so small and many that they fused into a white mist.
The teacher was gazing upward as he spoke: “In the beginning ,” he said, “was the Word… and the Word was with God… and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.’ Imagine that,” he said. “All things came into existence through the Word… the earth, the oceans, the moon, the sun, the stars, the galaxies, and the universe itself, all came into being through the Word. And what is the Word?” he asked.
“The Word of God,” I replied. “Yes, but in the original language, the word for word is logos. And logos also means the cause.”
“All things came into being through Him… the Cause of all things.”
“The Logos caused the universe into existence. Therefore, the existence of the universe rests on the existence of the Logos.”
The teacher gazed at the ground, then up again at the sky.
“But the cosmos is fallen,” he said. “The world is darkened by evil, and this life by sin. ‘And the Logos became flesh and dwelt among us…’ The Logos became flesh and blood. Why? Because only that which is of flesh can die for our sins. Who died on the cross?”
“The Messiah.” “Messiah is the Logos. It was the Logos that died on the cross. The Logos was crucified. And if the Cause is crucified, nullified, then so too is the effect. The effect is nullified. It disappears. If the Logos dies, the cosmos is nullified… the old world dies… the old life dies, the fallen past dies… the old you dies. And if the Cause of existence is removed, then all the sins of your life are brought out of existence, as if they never existed in the first place. So for all who are in Messiah, the old is gone. And they become new, as it is written, ‘If anyone is in Messiah, he is a new creation, and old has passed away, behold the new is come!’ For the Logos has been crucified.”
The Mission: The Logos has died, and with it, your old life. So stop letting the past affect you. Live free today in the newness of having no past.
Isaiah 43:18-19; 44:22-23; John 1:1-14; 2 Corinthians 5:14-17; Revelation 21:1-5

“Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you no see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert..” Isaiah 43: 18-19
“I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like a mist, Return to Me, for I have redeemed you. Rejoice, heavens,, for the LORD has acted; shout, depths of the earth. Break out into singing, mountains. Isaiah 44: 22-23
“For Christ’s love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died. And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised. From now on,, then, we do not know anyone in a purely human way. Even if we yet now we no longer know Him like that. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.” 2 Corinthains 5: 14-17
