Isaiah 53:10- “It was the Lord’s will to crush Him.”
I have a “coffee table” book that I keep out and enjoy all year long, even though written with the “Easter Season” in mind.
Entitled, The Cross, author Max Lucado has done a phenomenal job with both the written and the pictorial presentation of the cross through the ages.
I agree with his statement that “No other image (in all of history) evokes such emotion.”
Compiled and published in 1998, it stirs my heart each and every time I read it.
On the cross, our creator and savior sacrificed himself for His creation. It was no accident. It was God’s plan… His choice… His will.
It was intentional and voluntary. An act of Grace. His plan of redemption.
John the Baptist called Jesus “The Lamb of God.” I call Him my Savior.
What does The Cross mean to you?
***Note, I will be taking the next 2-3 weeks to work on a home renovation. I will return to the keyboard the first of April. Easter Blessings, everyone!
