Happy Resurrection Sunday! What The Cross Means To Me

 

"He is not here, for He has risen."
(Matthew 28:6)

As much as I love to write and to express my deepest thoughts through writing a daily blog,
when it comes to what my Lord and Savior Yeshua did for me at Golgotha, words fail me.
He took the filth of my fallen sinful nature and nailed it to the Cross.  He took my place
on the Cross so that I could be set free from sin and have eternal life through Him.

So, whenever I hear that He was a "social justice warrior" or worse a "victim" I can only
shake my head in disgust at the perversion of truth being preached in so many churches
in America today.  Yeshua was not a social justice warrior concerned with righting the
perceived wrongs of the world.  He came into the world to fulfill God's plan
 for the redemption of mankind.  And He was not a victim.

As He attests in John 10:18, "No one takes My life from Me, but I lay it down of
My own accord.  I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again."

In His agony in Gethsemane, the human side of Yeshua sweated drops of blood
when faced with the prospect of death by crucifixion.  But again, His words,

"Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet, not My will but Yours be done"
Luke 22:42, speaks of His perfect obedience to God's will and His great love for
mankind.  He suffered, died, and was buried, and on the third day
 rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures.

Thus, the greatest words ever spoken on this earth were those spoken that morning
in the empty tomb when the angel announced, "He is not here, for He has risen."

💖May everyone have a beautiful and blessed Resurrection Sunday!💖
