One Time Offer!

so also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him. Hebrews 9:28 NLT

The cross and all it represents seems to be getting lost in the daily pursuit of what the world calls success, prosperity and progress. It appears that the cross has become an outdated tool, something that appealed in the past to old generations but needs to be modified or aligned to this present generation. Unfortunately, the cross has to be the start point of any meaningful relationship with God and an understanding of his purpose and plan. What does the cross represent:

1. It is God's divine expression of love. By it, God showed that if he could give his best, his one and only Son, there is nothing else too big for him to release to all who come to him;

2. It is the mark of reconciliation between God and man. Sin broke the cord, the cross sealed it for all time. God came down and identified with man, took that sinful nature and nailed it to the cross, offering life and peace and joy and health to all who come to God through the cross. God and man now relate, because the offering made on the cross cleaned out the dirt.

3. The One who died on the cross lives again and he is returning again one day. It has already been established that God works in eternity so all we see now were settled in eternity. If God sought to restore fellowship with man, it is because that was his original plan, and his purpose for all of eternity to come. If you do not know God or God does not know you, you have not yet found your path in God. Eternity is at stake.

4. When he comes back again, sin will not be the focus but the hindering factor. When he returns, all that will matter is your relationship with God sealed through the cross. He is coming back again. When he comes, Possessions, power, prosperity, success and wealth will not matter in that day; all that will count is your path to God through the cross. Have you found your way to God through the cross? His time of favour is here.
