His cross

"And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst" (John 19:17, 18 KJV). The cross is the power of God, and there at the cross we've found freedom for all those who believe in Christ Jesus. It brings sanctification to the born-again believer's life, restoring one back to the glory of God the Father. It gives the child of God eternal inheritance and everlasting life in the kingdom of Heaven. The cross brings deliverance from sin, bondage, addiction, and the past. It all starts at the cross, and one cannot follow after Christ without taking up their cross. Jesus faced every kind of sin and temptation that man has ever had to face. He carried every guilt and shame we have ever had in our hearts on the cross up to Calvary. He took the burdens of each and everyone of us, along with all the iniquity and transgressions of the world. Agonizing pain was upon Him, yet He did not look back, nor regret the very moments He bared the cross. He saw the finish line before He had finished. Nails had to be pounded into His wrists and a spear thrust into His side, yet He saw the work was about to be finished for all humanity to walk in freedom. The cross has set the captives free, breaking them free from the bondage of evil and wickedness. Liberty is found at the cross of Christ. Our faith must be in Jesus Christ and all that was done at Calvary. God bless you. Amen
