HIS CROSS

Colossians 1:20 (NKJV) ... having made peace through the blood of His cross.
   We find ourselves uncomfortable when there is strife or turmoil around us, when the environment we live in is upset, there is a desire for peace. While flying to California one year, two young ladies were paying a lot of attention to our middle son Charlie. The conversation was about many things and finally Charlie age 3 blurted out, "this is so frustrating," his statement sent the ladies in to hysterics. They would occasionally turn around in their seat, look at Charlie and burst into laughter again.
   The Word of God (Jesus) came to make peace with man through the only means, blood and that blood had to be that of God. God was not reconciled to man until, the time was right for redemption, then Jesus came lived a life of righteousness, embraced all our sins and died on a cruel cross. He alone took my sins and yours to the grave, there He left them and walked out, setting us free to live righteous with God once again. However, we must now choose to live for God through Jesus, He has already chosen us. John 15:16
    What will you do with The Creators gift of life, you must choose, His peace?
Heavenly Father your love is most amazing, it gives life that we do not deserve, it brings peace where there is none. In You we will live eternally if we choose You alone. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Amen
