The Cross Of Christ

Good Morning, It's More Than Another Great Friday,....It's Good Friday, And Our Thoughts Center Around The Cross Of Christ!! At the cross Jesus commended His Mother to the disciple John, and John to His mother. He gave an invitation to life to a thief, while on the cross. This kind of concern shows the love that Jesus had,...to the bitter end. Jesus even prayed for those who placed Him on the cross. God's Love is supremely demonstrated around the Cross.
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.—Romans 5:8 (NIV)
" Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing " (Luke 23:34). This prayer included the Jewish leaders, the Roman politicians, and the soldiers. What love, what wondrous love! A more unselfish prayer would be difficult to express. Seldom has such love been in evidence! He loved a sinner into heaven while hanging on the tree.

"How great is the love the Father has lavished on us,

....that we should be called children of God!"           

(1st John 3:1, NIV)

  Because of Jesus, we don't need to be deceived any longer,...we are not under Satan's power or subject to his authority. We are in Christ,...above all demonic rule, authority or power. We are free. Praise God!!

" The problem with Christianity in America is that we want to control God,...instead of letting God control us."
