I Peter 2:24 ” He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.”

The Cross…the revealed truth of God’s judgment on sin. But don’t mistake it for martyrdom, but instead, the supreme triumph over death & the grave, and the quaking of the very foundations of Hell. The Cross made it possible for us to be brought back into a right relationship with God – bridging the chasm between this broken world and our Heavenly Father. But no way is the Cross something that just happened to Jesus & that He had no control over – for His sole purpose coming to earth was to redeem us from Hell as our sin-bearer. But neither is the Cross the cross of man, rather it’s the Cross of God…and try as we might, we will never be fully able to comprehend its power this side of Heaven. Finally, the Cross is God’s manifested heart for Salvation…made easy to obtain because it cost Jesus so very much.
