1 Corinthians 1:18

JUNE 14, 2024

Today’s Scripture

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:18

More than a mere symbol, the Cross is a source of triumph for every person who bows under its shadow to accept Jesus as Savior.

When Jesus hung on Calvary’s tree, He defeated sin once and for all (Romans 6:10). He broke its power over all humankind. We no longer live in slavery to its demands, at its beck and call. His death and resurrection make us free indeed!

When we responded to the clarion call of Calvary and accepted Jesus’ invitation, His blood washed away our sins to reconcile us to the Father. As we take up our cross to follow Him daily, He perfects and matures – sanctifies – us (Luke 9:23).

For those who are being saved, Jesus keeps calling us back to the Cross. Here lies the power of God! Bring your discouragement, your broken heart, your shattered dream, your rebellious children, and your messed-up marriage. Lay it down. Here – more than any other place – we know that what seems dead and broken beyond repair can be raised and made brand new!

Jesus still calls today. What do you need to lay down at the foot of the Cross? Come, cast all your cares on Him, because He loves you so (I Peter 5:7). Find power in the triumphant tree of Calvary.

Blessing

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. Lay every burden at the foot of the Cross to rise up in victory. He has set you free indeed!
