| The Cross |
| Here are seven aspects of the Cross for our heart’s meditation today: |
| 1. “He bearing His CROSS went forth” (John 19:17). |
| 2. “And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the CROSS. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS” (John 19:19). |
| 3. “Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the CROSS” (Hebrews 12:2). |
| 4. “He … became obedient unto death, even the death of the CROSS” (Philippians 2:8). |
| 5. “Having made peace through the blood of His CROSS” (Colossians 1:20). |
| 6. “The preaching of the CROSS … is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18). |
| 7. “God forbid that I should glory, save in the CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14). |
The cross! the cross, oh that’s our gain,
Because on that the Lamb was slain;
‘Twas there the Lord was crucified,
‘Twas there for us the Savior died. |
| Miss C. Taylor, 1742 |
