The Cross! Wow! This was a torture method the Roman Empire used on its enemies, including Jesus Christ 2,000 years ago. Understanding it is pivotal to your continued existence! In Genesis Jesus made every good thing. Then He got down on His hands and knees and made people. Things quickly went down hill from there! He repeatedly tried to save our sorry species from our evil ways. He tried extravagant blessings and terrible judgements. He tried priests, judges, prophets and kings. Everything failed. His most widely recorded scheme was His Israel programme: if they believed in His identity, turned away from evil, got baptised, and spread the word globally, He'd come to Earth and reign as King from there. To help them out, He even came as a zygote and spent 33 years living among them! Matthew through Acts tell us that this plan flopped. Stink. Stank. Stunk. His family thought He was crazy. His friends sold and abandoned Him. Puppet government kings sneered at Him. Law experts rigged a show trial against Him. He was lashed, crowned with thorns, stripped naked, nailed to the Cross, speared, and had His beard torn out. And on the third day, Holy Spirit resurrected Him! Jesus is Resurrection! Jesus is Life! The grave couldn't hold Him down! And He ascended to Heaven, where He waits for the day of His next return. In the meantime, He's doing something new. He revealed to Saul, or Paul--a thug and murderer--these mysteries: Jesus became Evil Incarnate on the Cross. Therefore, human evil is hidden from the Father. Jesus received calamitous punishment for all evil! Therefore, God's not judging people! Jesus was rejected. We've been accepted! Jesus was perfectly holy! Now we are too! We were lost. Now we're found! We were slaves to evil. Now we're God's kids! Under the circumstances. Now empowered by His peace, love, joy and hope to thrive, despite them! God's enemies. Now we're friends! We were dead. Now alive! All thanks to that old rugged Cross! Like! Share! Subscribe! If you would like a copy of the Bible study, reach out to me and we'll make it happen!
