The Cross

So many things have been written and spoken about the cross and the sacrifice of the Son of God. But I believe the true focus should be on the why. Why did he come to this sinful world and go through such a horrid, and painful death. The answer is simple and yet uncomprehensive, it is God's love for his creation. That's it. But let's look a little further. Why did we need the sacrifice? If you go all the way back to the creation and read where man fell in the garden, you'll see that man had plunged from a relationship with God to separation from God. Since that time men have touched or felt the presence of God but the relationship was severed. God is holy and cannot look on sin. When we realize that God loved us so much that he came in the likeness of that sinful creation and offered himself as the supreme sacrifice that we could have true follwship with God in Jesus. It is so uncomprehensive that love can be that powerful and the sin in us is that evil. The bible says that our righteousnesses is as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). We could never have a relationship with God again until there was a sacrifice worthy of the payment for sin. There was no sacrificew worthy except for God himself. He prepared himself a body (hebrews 10:5) that he might come and give himself. Thank you Jesus. Help us all to comprehend and embrace your love and walk in the righteousness that you made obtainable through the death, burial, and ressurection. I hope this handful of words encourages you, leave a comment or a pprayer request. Thanks. Be blessed
