Cross

Have you looked to Jesus alone? Have you believed in him as the One who paid the penalty for your sin on the cross? Do you know with certainty that you have eternal life?

My relationship with God is secure, and my final home is in heaven, but I am not there yet. The penalty of sin is gone, but the propensity to sin remains.

It was Friday…but Sunday was coming!

Being man and sinless, Jesus was the only one who could die on man’s behalf. There was no other one and no other way. And yet we get just a hint of the pain of the cross in today’s passage.

God in the flesh surrendered himself, entering Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. He continued to yield all the way to the cross. The charge of the believer is to follow that example of humble relent.

In Jesus, we saw what God looked like and how much he loves us…all the way to the cross.

God is not only our heavenly Father; Jesus reminds us that he is tender, compassionate, gentle, and caring. Run to Abba Father and experience his loving embrace.

His death paid the penalty for our sin. Through the Son of God and only through the Son of God can we have everlasting life. 

Jesus is a friend of sinners. He laid down his life for us on the cross. When you trust in Jesus as the One who paid for your sin on the cross, you become his friend…forever.
