The Power of the Cross – what does it mean to you? I believe that this is the most powerful message from the Bible. I listened to the song “In Christ Alone – My Hope is Found” this morning as I was working on a Bible study. I meditated on the words “‘Til on the cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied. For ev’ry sin on Him was laid; here in the death of Christ I live”.
Christ took on my sin in order for me to be reconciled to God and I am able to approach the throne of Grace through prayer. How awesome is that! Yes, the crucifixion was gory, but without it, how would we even understand the wages of sin – death? I have seen several movies about the life and the crucifixion of Christ, but for me the most powerful is still “The Passion of the Christ” by Mel Gibson. Yes, it might be offensive to some, but you know what – that was Mel Gibson’s point; to clearly show us what Christ went through.
So, what does the Cross mean to you?
