The Cross
The Cross.
There are times when the cross has more significance than others… not externally, but inwardly. Significance to our person and our attitudes. I would say that the majority of Christians I know and myself including’ dont touch on this subject enough.
When we think about what really happened though. What Christ endured to redeem us! The fact that he was crushed, abandoned, forsaken, and faced death… For what!? For us.
Why though. So we can go about our normal lives? So that we can pursue our hopes and dreams? So we can get a free ride to heaven?
I fall into these traps far too often.
But when you think on the cross… WOW. When you think on the price paid. What was endured for me and for you. Shouldn’t that shake us?
Turn the focus off what we want and what God wants? That we can’t pray… or share… or read… or give…
Ask God to remind you of the cross. What was endured and the price paid.
It is a free gift indeed… but the gratitude and a thanksgiving should be overwhelming!
Ask to be reminded and watch how your perspective changes when looking through the cross.
