Wk. 3: Why did Jesus Die?

"At the Cross" Chris Tomlin

Week 3: Why did Jesus Die?


At the foot of the cross...

Have you truly accepted forgiveness? Not just once, or twice, but seventy times seven times? (Matthew 18:21-22) Do you live in it. cling to it, hold into it with the wisdom and knowledge poured over us by the Saviour? Does sin hold you back, or spur you forward?  Do you know this mystery revealed to you, chosen one of God? At the foot of the cross, where we lay down all that we are to pick up all we will become; are becoming.

...the ground is even.

Christ Jesus' blood spilled out for all of humanity, for nations, all people groups, your town, your church, your family, you. Do you know the freedom of the cross? Do you live in it? Do you allow other to? The ground is even as is every person that God so loved that He sent... and now sends us.
For God so loved the world that he gave is only son... 
Father, thank you. I fear to think where we would be without you. Help us remember where we have been, and who we were before you. Help us to see ourselves and others as you do, hidden in the savig grace of Christ Jesus. Remind me of who I am, in you. And who I am becoming, in you. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven... Amen
