three crosses

There were three crosses on the hill that day...

one of them contained the

Son of God.

Jesus had been born to die...

the perfect sacrifice 

for those loved of God, and elected to eternal life.

Many don't understand the death of Jesus.

If you believe the Bible is true,

if you have read and studied its holy pages,

then you know...

the Holy Spirit has opened your heart and mind to know the truth.

Without the Holy Spirit,

one cannot understand God's word.

Man (all of us) was born in sin.

No one escaped that sad estate.

The Bible says that we are sinners

 one and all.

God is holy,

He cannot look upon sin or abide with sin.

Right away...

from the beginning of time,

He planned to send His Son Jesus,

to take our place.

He placed our sins on Him.

God accepted His death on our behalf

and declared us righteous

because of what Jesus did.

In God's eyes we are no longer sinners.

In Christ we do our best not to sin.

His Spirit gives us the power to live holy lives.

What do we do?

Believe,

trust,

bear fruit,

live holy lives,

read,

study,

tell others,

pray,

wait expectantly for Jesus' return.

We live this life abundantly in the power and grace

that has been given to us.

To God be the glory,

great things He has done!
