--REMEMBER THE CROSS~~

--"Surely this man was the Son of God."
--(Mark 15:39)

~~IN MY church, a large cross stands at the front of the sanctuary. It represents the original Cross where Jesus died. There God allowed His perfect Son to die for the sake of every wrong thing we have ever done. On the Cross, Jesus finished the work required to save us from the death we deserve (Romans 6:23). Jesus redeemed us from the curse of the Law.

The sight of a cross causes me to consider what Jesus endured for us. He was flogged and spit on. The soldiers hit Him in the head with sticks. They mocked Him. They tried to make Him carry His own Cross. At Golgotha, they hammered nails through His flesh to keep Him on the Cross. Those wounds bore the weight of His body as He hung there. Six hours later, Jesus took His final breath (Mark 15:37). A Centurion who witnessed Jesus's death declared, "Surely this man was the Son of God!" (v.39).

The next time you see the symbol of the Cross, consider what it means. God's only begotten Son, Jesus, suffered and died there and then rose again to make eternal life possible. For me. For you.
