If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin-because
anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
Romans 6:5-7,
anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
Romans 6:5-7,
The Cross. Our Savior. His blood rolled down the wooden cross as the rust covered nails pierced his hands through the strength of the striking hammers. One by one. His hands, his feet. The cross was no longer the bare of a fresh cut of wood, but covered by the thick crimson of our Saviors life.
His death and our life. That is the truth.
When I view the cross, I see it as a torturing mechanism that was used in the old days; like the electric chair that is used in the present days. There is nothing celebratory about that. But for Christians and all believers alike the cross is all important. Because of His sacrifice on the cross, we are saved.
When He died, so did our sins. Every sin that came from our living soul was erased on that day. The image of Jesus pushing us aside and telling us its going to be okay, its going to be okay is so powerful to me. That one man is willing to take the wrath of God Himself for the sake of people that hate and blaspheme. As He takes every man on his shoulders and dies.
It is true. We should not be ashamed of our sins any longer because Jesus Christ is was and forever will be our ransom. Sin can no longer hold us down any longer for we have been freed because of Him!
Good Friday! Praise the Lord!
Amen!
