Today, we will delve into the deeper aspects of the message of the cross , which can strengthen our faith and show us the way to eternal life .
2. Love Seen on the Cross: The Supreme Sacrifice for the World
On the cross, Jesus died for our sins . We know that these words may seem simple and ordinary if we think about them only intellectually. However, when we look deeper into the event of the cross , we find that Jesus’ death was not just death, it was a sign of eternal love and an unforgettable sacrifice .
Jesus didn’t just give us a birthday present , he sacrificed himself for our sins and curses . It shows us what love is, it opens the way for us to grow spiritually and be saved .
“The greatest sacrifice in public life is the death of Jesus, who accepted the plea of all humanity to mend our broken relationship with God.”
3. The Cross: The Solution to Sin and the Way of Salvation
One thing we find in every Bible study about the cross is that the cross is God’s solution for sin.
Sin separates us from God, but Jesus’ sacrifice reconciles us to God . This profound truth makes the death and blood sacrifice of Jesus so necessary and important. We do not have to accept the punishment for sin, because Jesus has already taken that punishment for us.
“The wages of sin is death,” (Romans 6:23), and salvation from it can only be obtained through faith in Jesus Christ . The cross is becoming a permanent solution to sin , giving every person the hope of eternal life.
4. The Cross: A Sign of Power and Victory
It may seem interesting to read, “The cross is not only the solution to sin, it is also a sign of power and victory!”
When Jesus died on the cross, the power of darkness in the world ended. There was not only pain on the cross , there was also the victory of Jesus’ power . When Jesus said, “It is finished!” (John 19:30), it marked the end of an era and the beginning of a new era . Jesus’ death had blotted out all the sins of the world, and Jesus’ resurrection on the third day proved that the victory of the cross is eternal .
Therefore, the cross is not a dream but a true victory . It opens up the possibilities of a new life , giving hope to overcome every difficulty.
