RUN TO THE CROSS

HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY TO ALL.

RUN TO THE CROSS

READ:
Hebrews 10:28-39

It is a fearful thing to fall into
the hands of the living God.
-Hebrews 10:31

Whenever a tsunami warning is given on the northern coastline of Maui, Hawaii, the people living in Hana rush up the side of a mountain to a high place of safety.  Nearby is a tall wooden cross that was placed here many years ago by missionaries.  For their physical safety, people run to the area where the cross is located.

In a similar way, all of us need a place of spiritual safety.  Why?  Because the Lord gives us these warnings in His Word:  "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" and "the wages of sin is death" (Romans 3:23; 6:23).  Hebrews 9:27 states:  "It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment."  We might not like to think about what the consequences of our sin will be as we face a holy God, but it's a serious thing "to fall into the hands of the living God" (10:31).

The good news is that out of love for us, the Father has provided a place of safety!  He sent His Son Jesus to die so we wouldn't have to be separated from Him forever (Romans 5:8-10; Colossians 1:19-22).

Because of Jesus Christ's death on the cross and His resurrection from the dead, that place of safety is available.  Have you run to the cross? -Anne Cetas

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain. -Bennard
