They
took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place
called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha.
Easter is this
weekend. Friday is the day we remember
that Jesus, the son of God, was nailed to the cross and accepted His death as
the act of redemption that all people had to have. On Sunday we will remember and celebrate
because of the resurrection of Jesus. He
is alive and has risen from the dead.
It was on
Calvary, the cross where Jesus died, that our sins were dealt with and our
lives for eternity changed. We owe
everything to Jesus, but some have not accepted this as reality.
Celebrate the
historic reality of the cross of Christ.
Calvary was an incredible place that carries for us as Christians
unending truth.
The following
is from my daily reading yesterday from YouVersion.com and the overflow
devotions:
Calvary is the story of the law
colliding with grace. It’s the story of you and I not getting what we deserve.
It’s the story of hope emerging from the darkness and new life thriving in
spite of sin. It’s a story of our mistakes and His mercy, our debts and His
ransom, our separation and His victory. Calvary covers it all.
Here is part of
the song Calvary from Hillsong:
The
savior alone carried the cross
For
all of my debt, He paid the cost
Salvation
complete
Now
forever I'm free
Calvary
covers it all
Calvary
covers it all
My
sin and shame don't count anymore
All
praise to the One who has ransomed my soul
Calvary
covers it all…
Easter is meant to remind us and the world that God’s
plan continues to be true. It is our
place to worship and remember, to celebrate and share all that God did and
continues to do for us. It is by Jesus’
death and life that we are completely healed.
He
personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to
sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.
