| Three Crosses |
| “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left” (Luke 23:33). |
| There were three crosses on Calvary’s hill that day. |
| The cross of REJECTION: |
| “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on Him, saying, If thou be Christ, save Thyself and us” (Luke 23:39). |
| The cross of REDEMPTION: |
| “Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by Whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24). |
| “In whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins … Having made peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:14, 20). |
| The cross of RECEPTION: |
| “But the other … said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom” (Luke 23:40, 42). |
| “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14). |
