Calvary

"And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left" (Luke 23:33 KJV). The power of the cross of Christ sets the sinner free. In the beginning of Jesus's ministry, He went out to the dark places, to those who were lost in and by darkness. During the last three years of His ministry, He healed, preached, set free, and taught all who believed and had an ear to listen. However, His main objective was to see the captive set free from the chains of sin. Jesus came for the sinner, those who were rejected, broken, lost, and without hope. The only way the guilt and shame would ever be removed from the children of God was at the cross. Jesus humbled Himself to take the sins of the world upon Himself, without a complaint. He did it because He loved the world. All through His ministry He was found among the sinners, the liar, the thief, the adulterer, the murderer, the drunkard, and the common man, even up to the time of His death. He died between two sinners. He came with a purpose, and there's no doubt He fulfilled every bit of it. Thank God for all He has done and continues to do. Give Him praise. God bless you. Amen
