The Cross Speaks!
Christ Died for our sins
according to the Scriptures,
and...rose again the third day.
{1 Corinthians 15:3-4}
Crosses decorate church steeples and designate burial
places. Sometimes they mark the spot where people
died in highway accidents. And they are often worn
as jewelry. Crosses remind people of Jesus Christ.
Why are we believers in Christ?
Jesus dies on the cross for us, but we don't worship
a dead Saviour. Our Lord's body was taken down
from the cross and placed in a tomb, and then
on the third day He emerged in a glorified body.
The cross speaks to us of the total picture...
our Lord's atoning death to pay the price for our sins,
as well as His glorious resurrection to deliver us from
the power of death.
If it were not for what Christ did on the cross, we would
all stand guilty before God and hopeless in the face of death.
But through faith in Him, we receive the forgiveness of all
our sins and the assurance that death cannot hold us.
Have you looked at the cross and placed your trust in
the One who died there? It's the only sure and perfect
remedy for guilt and fear!
The cross of Christ...the crossroads to heaven or hell!
