Subject: God Glorified in the Cross |
Bible Note: "If we were limited to one word that could be used to tell who God is, that word would be 'Cross.' Every attribute of God is on full display in the cross. We see His HOLINESS and JUSTICE; God hates sin and must punish it! We see His WISDOM in finding a way to be both ust and Justifier of the ungodly. We see His OMNIPRESENCE in being in heaven and pouring His wrath upon His Son, while being on earth enduring His own wrath in theperson of His Son. We see His SOVEREIGNTY in saving the one thief and passing the other by. We see His POWER in being able to put away sin. We see His ETERNAL PURPOSE unfold in 'the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.' And how the attributes of LOVE, GRACE, and MERCY shine forth from the cross! Is it any wonder Paul said, 'I determined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified,' and 'God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.' There really is nothing else to preach or glory in! If we think there is, it is evident that we have never seen the real meaning of the cross." --Todd Nibert Have a blessed Resurrection Day weekend, brothers and sister! |
