POWER IN THE CROSS 1
MAIN TEXT: 2 Corinthians 5:21 – God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Galatians 6:14 – May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
Prior to the cross, all have sinned and condemned. We were His enemies. We were alienated from God by our unforgiven sins, but now reconciled to God by faith in Christ’s death on the cross for us. Eternally regenerated, now we find ourselves “without blemish and free from accusation” in God’s sight.
Through death comes life. This is the great mystery of the Cross of Christ. If I die to that sin, disobedience, lawlessness, addiction, unholy desire then what lies on the other side is my salvation, healing, and deliverance. The death of Christ brought life and resurrection.
Rejection is one of the deepest wounds the human soul can experience but Jesus suffered it for us on the Cross. You see overtime the Bible mentions the Cross and the redeeming work that took place upon it healing is connected to it. However, it is always mentioned in the past tense indicating that the healing already took place on the Cross.
BELIEVING IN CHRIST’S DEATH AND RESURRECTION GIVES US THE VICTORIOUS LIFE
PRAYER: Today, I come to the cross of Christ, let the same power deal with the issues of my life and grant me victory in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
