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.
