This
weekend my family will be celebrating Easter along with other Christians
worldwide. Though society tries to discount the meaning of Easter and make it
all about cuddly bunnies and chocolate eggs, for those of us who acknowledge
Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior, it’s all about the cross of Calvary.
The Cross Declares the Love
of God and the Sinfulness of Man
My sin caused a chasm between God and I that could not be breached
through my own efforts. My death was required as payment for my sin. Yet, God
loved me so much that He sent His only Son to die on the cross in my place. I
owed a debt I could not pay. He paid a debt He did not owe.
The Cross Demands Acceptance
and Repentance
God
offered me the free gift of everlasting life. I accepted His gift of love when
I was sixteen years old. Repenting of my sin has given me a heart bursting with
joy. His gift gives me abundant life now and life with Him in eternity.
The
Cross Divides the Spiritually Blind and
the Spiritually Blessed
Do you know the Jesus of the cross?
He died to set you free from the chains of your sin. He came back to life three
days after His death to go live with His Father and prepare a place for you to
live with Him forever. He loves you and He wants you to be His child. The cross
presents you with choices: accept or reject the love He offers. Take a look at
the cross this weekend and make your choice. He’s waiting for you to decide.
Going
out with joy today-
