An Upsurge of Generations (Part 2):
The Cross Stained Red
The blood ran down His body and onto
the cross, seeping deep into the wood. The crowd roared as the Romans crucified
His body. All of history built up to this one moment. Everything would change
from there on out. His cry roared out above the crowd. His agony was bouncing
back and forth in His body.
As Jesus hung He lifted up His head
saying the greatest words ever said, “It
is finished”. His head bowed and His spirit lifted. Dead. No life.
One day went by, then the next, and
finally the third day came. Air propelled deep into His lungs. His lungs expanded.
His heart began beating faster and faster.
He has risen! He broke the chains, rolled away the tomb, shattered, and crushed,
destroyed, broken the sin that lies within our hearts!
Our sin is demolished under Jesus’s
feet. The stains of sin have been covered by the stain of the cross. Past, present
and future sins, mistakes, and failures have been completely washed away. “It is finished”.
Nothing, nothing can separate us
from love of God,
“No, in all these
things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that
neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to
come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will
be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans
8: 37-39
Whatever sin, failure, and mistake you have done or will make
will not separate you from the love of Christ. Fix your eyes upon Christ and
believe (John 14:6).
The layers of blood seeped deep in the cross, layer by layer,
covered all sin, each failure, all faults, and every error. All because of the
cross stained red.
