Lenten Meditation: Embrace Forgiveness, Embrace Life!
/Until you rest in the finality of the cross, you will never experience the reality of the resurrection, which is Christ living in and through you!Unless you rest in the fact that Jesus did it all, you’ll be so busy trying to pay off your debt – atone for your sins – that you’ll never grow and enjoy the personal relationship that Christ has provided for you. Bob George, Growing in Grace
The total payment has been made. The slate is wiped clean!
We are lavishly loved and forever forgiven in Him!
So we can quit trying to earn what we already have in Christ. We can live the abundant life the Lord has promised...the resurrected, indwellingChrist living it through us...as us, not as someone we admire or think we should be like.
Let the truth of this song wash over you...live the life the Lord has given you...Him living through you!
The Power of the Cross
Oh, to see the dawn of the darkest dayChrist on the road to calvarytried by sinful men, torn and beaten thennailed to a cross of wood
This the pow'r of the crossChrist became sin for ustook the blame, bore the wrath we stand forgiven at the cross
Oh, to see the pain written on your facebearing the awesome weight of sinevery bitter thought, every evil deedcrowning your bloodstained brow
This the pow'r of the crossChrist became sin for ustook the blame, bore the wrathwe stand forgiven at the cross
Now the daylight fleesNow the ground beneathquakes as it maker bows his headcurtain torn intodead are raise to life"finished" the victory cry
This the pow'r of the crossChrist became sin for ustook the blame, bore the wrathwe stand forgiven at the cross
Oh, to see my name written in the woundsfor through your suffering I am freedeath is crushed to deathlife is mine to livewon through your selfless love
This the pow'r of the crossson of God slain for uswhat a love, what a costwe stand forgiven at the cross
