We bring our monthly focus on the cross to a close with both Scripture and song, reminding us of all that Jesus accomplished through the shedding of His precious blood.
Focused on the Cross
We all stand in need of forgiveness from God and others, but why does it sometimes seem impossible to forgive, even as the children of God?
People who actually witnessed the death of Jesus on the cross saw different things. What should be the result of us “seeing the cross?”
Our focus on the cross continues this week with the reminder that both Scripture and this hymn that only the cross of Jesus can lead us to our ultimate goal, Heaven, the eternal city of God.
Paul would not boast of any personal accomplishment, but he would proudly boast in the cross of Jesus. So must we.
The cross was an instrument of death, a tool producing great suffering, the infliction of punishment on the guilty criminal, and a horrible sight to see. What do you see when you “look” at the cross?
What does the cross mean to you? Is it just a religious symbol or is it a meaningful part of your life every day?
