The Passion of our Christ
....This weekend, was the completion of the law, the fulfillment; moreover 2000 years ago! That we are bought by the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This week is commonly known as the passion week around the world. The time where people remember and commemorate the road that Jesus traveled as He went to the cross. As you ponder the cross I want to leave you with words written by an author called Max Lucado and what he says about the cross . . .
It rests on the time line of history like a compelling diamond its tragedy summons all sufferers. Its absurdity attracts all cynics. Its hope lures all searchers. History has idolized and despised it, gold plated and burned it, worn and trashed it. History has done everything but ignore it. How could you? How could you ignore such a piece of lumber? Suspended on its beams is the greatest claim in history. A crucified carpenter claiming to be God on earth. Divine. Eternal. The death-slayer. Never has timber been regarded so sacred. No wonder the apostle Paul called the cross event the core of the gospel. Its bottom line is sobering; if the account is true, it is history hinge. Period. If not, the cross is history hoax. As you ponder Christ on the cross, what are your thoughts? Perhaps it's been a while since you looked at the cross. Perhaps you never have. May I urge you to do so? Allow yourself to trigger a turning of your heart until you stand face to feet with the one who claimed to come to save your soul.
With many Blessings;
