Thank God for the Cross

Grandboys 2017

Jesus said, "I have finished the work which You have given Me to do." (John 17:4)

On this year's countdown to Thanksgiving Day, what are you thanking God for? Today, I thank God for the Cross of Jesus Christ.

Oswald Chambers wrote: "Never build your case for forgiveness on the idea that God is our Father and He will forgive us because He loves us. That contradicts the revealed truth of God in Jesus Christ. It makes the Cross unnecessary, and the redemption 'much ado about nothing.' God forgives sin only because of the death of Christ. God could forgive people in no other way than by the death of His Son, and Jesus is exalted as Savior because of His death... Jesus Christ became a curse for us by divine decree."

Are you forgiven, beloved? Then thank God for the Cross of Christ.
