Title: Guarantee of the Cross (Mark 15:43)
Content If Jesus, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, had only tried to save himself on the cross, he would not have died after defeating his enemies. He is the one who turned water into wine. It is the Lord who healed the man who was captured by the devil in the army of the Gerasenes. The Lord calmed the storm in Galilee.
People who do not know love criticized Jesus, but it is not because Jesus does not have the power to save himself. He was hanging on the cross for you and me. The prophet Isaiah, who received a revelation through the Holy Spirit of God five hundred years before Christ came to this earth, records the reason why Jesus did not save him. In Isaiah 53:4, it says, "Surely he bore our sorrows and bore our sorrows, but we thought that he was chastised and afflicted by God."
Think about it. How must God the Father feel when his only-begotten Son suffered like this, but God the Father loved us humans so that Jesus took our burdens on our behalf. And the blood of Christ that was scourged at that time, and the water and blood that was shed at the crucifixion, are now demanding a price through our lives. Therefore, everyone who believes in the blood of Jesus Christ will be set free from disease and attain health. Today, various pains, sufferings, and diseases are trampling human beings. Therefore, Jesus Christ protects and protects us with a love and compassion that could never come down from the cross, either then or now.
Jesus, who suffered on the cross for a long time and paid the price for our sins one by one, finally died. He entered the valley of the shadow of death for us. The Creator who made the heavens and the earth and everything in them for us has entered into a narrow cave.
He was captured by the power of that love that loved humans, was crucified, died for that love, and was buried in a tomb because of that love. Therefore, we have no way to receive God's love except through the cross of Jesus Christ. There was no escape for us except the cross.
Prayer: Jesus died on the cross for us. Please let our family also take up the cross and follow you. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
