The story of the cross of Jesus is the most remarkable expression of love known to man. God ordained the death of Jesus on the cross so that all humanity could receive forgiveness of sin and everlasting life, as originally intended.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God
Jesus took upon Himself the sin of all humanity, past, present, and future. He suffered death and separation from the Father. Shed His blood and took our sins upon His own body, giving us the gift of the Holy Spirit and Eternal Life.
He presented us with Spiritual gifts, enabling us to walk in holiness and righteousness in Him.
At the moment of Jesus’ death, the disciples did not know that the veil around the Mercy Seat in the Temple had been torn from top to bottom, representing the end of the terrible separation of God and Man that had existed since the days of Adam and Eve.
All they saw were the earthquakes, darkness, and gloom upon all the earth. Their faith and hope were minimal.
The Empty Tomb
God had ordained the death of Jesus on the cross so that all humanity could receive forgiveness of sin and everlasting life, as originally intended.
Then came the discovery of the empty tomb, and when Jesus revealed Himself to them in person, they found new excitement and hope.
The disciples were filled with hope. Their faith and lives were transformed, as they saw the promises of Jesus coming to fruition.
Ascension into Heaven
And when they witnessed His Ascension into Heaven with their own eyes, their faith reached an even greater pinnacle!
They knew with all certainty that He was who He had said He was, and they were changed forever.
Pentecost
A short time later, on the Day of Pentecost, they were filled with the Holy Spirit and given The Power to accomplish the things Jesus had commanded them to do.
Nothing, not persecution, imprisonment, or even death itself, would keep them from taking the message of the cross of Jesus to the world.
The Cross of Jesus Today
The same incredible power of the Holy Spirit in the disciples abides in every born-again Believer.
Nothing in the history of mankind can match the cross. To the Followers of Christ, the cross of Jesus demonstrates God’s unsearchable wisdom, power, and love.

“Lets Teach Our Children to Love”
Why is it so difficult for our educators and society, in general, to understand that love and respect for one another taught from a young age can solve much of the world’s hostility and social problems!
“Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” (Prov 22:6).
Love is the answer!
True loyalty springs from the heart and is wrapped in love. It is often in our most private moments that true loyalty, or the lack of it, is made known.
