The Cross
What's with the Cross?
Christians
consider during Easter, the greatest feast day that all Christians around the
world celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This book was
written between 740-680 B.C. in which Isaiah, the prophet, moved by the Holy
Spirit of God wrote in details who Jesus Christ is and how he would die to save
us, mankind. Notice how many years have gone by before that actually took
place, more than 700 years. My friend, the Cross is not a fairy tale. The Cross
of Jesus Christ is all that matters. Therefore, we need not be ashamed of it.
To
this day, I still hear people refer to Jesus Christ as “the baby Jesus of
Christmas" who lay in the manger helpless and defenseless just like an
ordinary child. Yes my friend, in that Holy night Jesus Christ, the King, the
Son of God was born. However, I want you to know and understand that Jesus
Christ was not an ordinary child by any means. Jesus Christ is God. I know it
is hard for some people to accept, but the truth is the Bible is very clear
about who Jesus is, and the claims and deeds of Jesus speak for themselves.
They stand alone.
It
is amazing how people remember Jesus Christ as a baby and completely ignore him
as the King of kings and Lord of lords. Jesus Christ is the conqueror of death,
died to give us life. As Easter is approaching, Christians around the
world are preparing to celebrate that special day when Christ died on the Cross
to set you and I free from the power of sin, (which separates us from God), and
made it possible for All to come to God. My friends Christ died so we might
have life, so don't let this Easter goes by without making a decision. I pray
that you choose Christ.
In
1707, Isaac Watts wrote this famous song At the Cross which I think is
appropriate not only for the Easter season, but rather it a reminder for all of
our days.
Isaiah, the prophet explains vividly what would happen to the Christ. Read the 53rd chapter of Isaiah .
Jesus is not dead. He is alive.
