WHAT HAS HE DONE?
Today was an unusual day, I am the middle cross that sits on a hill called Calvary.
Let me tell you, what happened to me today.
Today was not an ordinary day.
I see many men die, every day, men are put to death on me.
But this was different.
There was a massive crowd, I was carried by a man who was too weak to carry me.
They were cursing this man.
What had he done?
He dropped the cross, someone was called to pick it up.
I was dragged up to calvary.
I heard the curses of the soldiers.
I heard the insults of the pharisees.
What were the pharisees doing here?
They never come
They were taunting this man, they wanted him to come down from the cross.
Even the other criminals were insulting this man, what had he done?
A sign was placed on the top, this is Jesus King of the Jews.
I heard the insults, but I heard things, I had never heard before.
This man prayed for the people insulting him, father forgive them.
Never had I heard words like this, never had I seen a crucifixion, like this.
Women stood by the cross, this man's mother, he had someone take care of her.. what love.
But what I heard next shook me to my foundations.
MY GOD MY GOD WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME AND IT IS FINISHED.
Who was this man?
I heard some say, his name was Jesus.
Then one of the other criminals was speaking to Jesus, he came to faith.
The people were amazed and now the ground is shaking.
There is an earthquake, I'm going to fall.
Its dark now, for three hours total darkness.
But it's midday, what's happening?
The soldiers are running, but one stands there and speaks.
Surely, this is the son of God.
The friends of this man come to take him down.
His blood is smeared through my bark.
My friends, I am the cross, I saw Jesus' die, his blood runs all down me.
I am covered with his blood.
My question is this:
Are you covered by the blood of Jesus?
He is real, he brings life.
The answer to the question at the top is this.
He has gained salvation through his death on the cross, we can be reconciled to God, but it takes coming to the foot of the cross, in repentance, faith and with a broken and humble spirit.
The burden of sin is taken away at Calvary.
The Father's justice was satisfied at Calvary, the father's love, mercy and grace were put on full display at Calvary.
Calvary is all about Christ. He gave his life for you.
The Father will draw you to the cross, the holy spirit will convict you of your sin and the precious blood of Jesus will cleanse you from all your sin.
We are not saved by a creed!
(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")
That which makes one a Christian is not . . .
the acceptance of Christ's teaching,
the uniting with His church,
the adoption of His morals,
the espousing of His cause —
but the receiving of Him as our personal Savior, the entering into a covenant of eternal friendship with Him as our Lord and Master.
We are not saved by a creed which gathers up the essence of the truth about Christ's person and work, in a few golden sentences. We must have the Christ Himself, whom the creed holds forth, in His radiant beauty and grace.
A good many people think that being a Christian is . . .
to pray a few moments morning and evening,
to read a daily chapter or two in the Bible,
and to attend church on Sundays.
These duties are important as means of grace — but they are not vital religion.
True religion is living out the principles of Christianity in one's ordinary week-day life. It is getting the Bible and the prayers and the services — into thought and act and character!
We must not cut our lives in two and call one part secular, governing it by one set of principles — and regarding the other part as sacred, to be controlled by another set of rules. All of life is to be made religious, in the sense that everything is to be done in such a way as to please God, under the direction of His counsel. We have just as much religion, as we get into our week-your life, and not a whit more!
