THE MIDDLE CROSS OF CALVARY
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: SATURDAY 3 APRIL 2021
The true connotation and the significance of the middle cross of Calvary can’t be over emphasized. The cross in the middle of Calvary holds the hope and future for all who are willing to embrace it. Yes, it’s the cross of redemption, the source of our salvation and the promise of eternal life; was lifted up right in the middle demonstrating the Word of God in John 3:16. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”.
SCRIPTURE: So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. (Galatians 5:1) NLT
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: The middle cross of Calvary was not destined for Jesus but for you and me.
It is an error and salvific blunder to think that the cross in the middle was for Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ committed no sin to deserve the cross, (2 Cor. 5:21). That very cross was destined for sinners (you and me). But out of love for sinners and the desire to free us from sin, Jesus Christ took our place on the cross.
Beloved, everything that you need in order to benefit from the fruits of a righteousness that leads to everlasting life is in Christ. We obtain such not through our good works or personal efforts but through the unmerited grace of God. That grace was released at the middle cross of Calvary. And for us to partake in this grace, we must submit our lives and everything to Jesus at cross in the middle of Calvary. Stay Lifted!
NOTE THIS: The middle cross of Calvary was not destined for Jesus but for you and me.
RESPONSIBILITY: Say YES to Jesus today, and have access to the fruits of righteousness and everlasting life.
PRAYER: O LORD, thank You for redeeming me from the yokes of sin and slavery, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and continue to pray)
PROPHETIC WORD: May the death of Christ set you and yours free from every yoke of slavery, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
BIBLE TEXTS: Gal 5:1, 2 Cor. 5:21, John 3:16
