On this Good Friday, Christians around the world pause to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary's cross. This day is the very basis of our salvation and the ultimate expression of the unconditional love of God for sinful man. No wonder we set aside this day to linger at the foot of the cross!
What difference did the cross make? It provided the perfect sacrifice to redeem us from sin, but it did so much more! The cross opened the way to have a personal relationship with a loving God. It became a permanent reminder of the hope we have that death is not the final chapter. The cross teaches us that our failures do not define us and that temporary suffering is often a step to victorious living. The cross is a place of forgiveness, reconciliation, and hope. The cross is a shelter from life's storms as well as a foundation upon which we anchor our lives. The cross is everything we need.
That's why I choose to daily cling to the old rugged cross.
