Topic: Cross

Highlights:
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. Luke 8:22

The Crucifix is a Cross with Christ on it. Now is time to cross over with Christ. I am using the word cross with pun intended to ask have you crossed yet with Christ!

A child would cross to adolescent and from adolescent to youth and then to adulthood but anyone who underwent all these stages and is yet to experience rebirth through the Holy Spirit has not crossed.

Though Cross is a shameful way to die, our Lord Jesus Christ does not deserve any humiliation for a sin He did not commit but our Lord Jesus Christ took that route to remind you of John 3:3 and 3:16

"Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again

For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."

Though no one can live in their body forever without dying, but Jesus came to tell you that you can live forever when you cross to God through him.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.

For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died.

We tell you this directly from the Lord: We who are still living when the Lord returns will not meet him ahead of those who have died.

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.

First, the believers who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. So encourage each other with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18

You have to cross to God through the Spirit of hope given to those who believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. It is time to cross. It is time to be born again.

Prayer: I open up my heart for you Lord Jesus and I am ready and willing to accept the Spirit of hope. Let me cross to experiencing the great love of God and to fellowship with you forever. Make me Born again. Amen.

 
Two things I have to comment on is that Christ is no longer on the cross, but now sits at the right hand of God making intercession for us, Romans 8:34. We look at the cross as the finished works of the Lord.

God is not going to make us born again, but calls us to repentance if we hear Him calling us as that is our own decision to come to Him through a heart of repentance and make confession with our mouth as we believe in our heart that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior, John 3:5-7; Romans 10:9-10.
