“With one sacrifice he made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” Hebrews 10:14

We would have scripted the moment differently. Ask us how a God should redeem his world, and we will show you! White horses, flashing swords. Evil flat on his back. God on his throne.

But God on a cross?

A split-lipped, puffy-eyed, blood-masked God on a cross?

Sponge thrust in his face? Spear plunged in his side? Dice tossed at his feet?

No, we wouldn’t have written the drama of redemption this way. But, then again, we weren’t asked to. These players and props were heaven picked and God ordained. We were not asked to design the hour.

But we have been asked to respond to it.

Question: Today’s devotional is short with a simple message: How will you respond to these simple truths?

    yes infront of cross all of us have to take that big descison.Nobody is an exception.At the foot of cross the paths diverge. one to eternal life and one to eternal fire.GOD gave HIS SON as the answer to our redemption and salvation.But its up to us to decide to accept HIM or not.To all humanbeings GOD is giving an equal opportunity..to decide. Many reject cross and go to eternal fire. BUT Today will you accept JESUS and what HE did for you on the cross. Beyond cross there is the ETERNAL life of GOD.As the arrival of our LORD is so near come to the bottom of cross,repent of your sins and accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOUR and be BLESSED TODAY.
