The cross is not just a place where a man went to die. It is an everlasting reminder of what should have become of us. It is a reminder of when God stepped out of eternity and into time. He wrapped himself in human flesh and became a living sacrifice. Such a courageous and majestic act that displays God's goodness and his compassion. An expression of his love for all of us, even though we turn away from him because it is easier to conform than it is to transform. We have selective memory, in that we only remember God when its convenient. When we look at the cross we should feel hope, we should feel peace, but most importantly we should feel a strong sense of love that empowers us to not only turn from evil, but to flee from it.
Jesus Christ shed his blood to atone for our shortcomings, and forever solidified that we have salvation. I think that is worthy of seeking a relationship with God. Don't you?
Love you guys,
Mr. Johnson
