“The Cross”
Day 2
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
A cross without a sacrifice is just a piece of wood. But on that day, on that cross, hung the Christ and on Him hung all the sin of all men for all time, even those not yet born. He took His love and our sin to that cross for us and paid the price of our disbelief and disobedience. And being unblemished by any kind of sin, He paid the price for all our sin and for our forgiveness and freedom forever for anyone who would believe in Him and what He did on that day on that cross. That cross wasn’t empty, and that death was not meaningless. Thank You Jesus for forgiving me!
