April 4 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? — Romans 8:32

The Blessings of the Cross

The Cross is the source of our blessings. It is that Cross through which all of God's riches will flow into our lives—pardon, forgiveness, provision, adoption into the family of God, and care for all of our needs. Because of the Cross, one day we will be taken to be with Him in Paradise forever. That means we must let go of all supposed goodness of our own, acknowledge ourselves to be dead in sins, and trust in the divine Son, who came... More

April 3 . . . Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. — Hebrews 12:2

The Horror of the Cross

After having been skewered to the cross, lifted up naked before all the world to see, Jesus endured the shame and the horror and the agony and the pain of the worst kind of human suffering. For three interminable hours He hung there, until at last there came high noon. Then, in the peak of the heat of that day, suddenly the sun's light failed, and a great darkness descended at noon, and a blackness covered the earth. In that darkness,... More

April 2 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory. — 1 Corinthians 2:7

The Mystery of the Cross

Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the center of Christianity. The very heart of the mystery of Christian redemption is this: That He who is the spotless, sinless Son of God, become sin for us on the Cross. He who knew no sin became sin. Christ bore our sins in His own body on the tree—that is the essence of the Christian mystery. In His Passion, Jesus suffered not only physically, but spiritually. Now, for the first time in His life,... More

April 1 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. — James 3:13

Fools

What's the difference between wisdom and folly? Between the wise person and the fool? "The fool," Proverbs tells us, "despises wisdom and instruction." I trust there is no one reading who despises wisdom and instruction, but I daresay there are varying degrees of avidness in our quest after wisdom and instruction. There are some who will tolerate a little bit of wisdom if it is fed to them like pablum in bite-size mouthfuls. But what... More

March 31 Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done. — Luke 22:42

The Cup of Wrath

When Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night of His betrayal, He realized how horrible was the cup that He was about to drink from—the cup of God's wrath. This is why He prayed that the cup be passed from Him, if possible. It was not possible, so He submitted to drink it. Earlier that night, Jesus had said, "For the ruler of this world [Satan] is coming. He has no power over Me" (John 14:30). Satan only has a claim... More

March 30 … Unlike those high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices—first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for He did this once for all when He offered up Himself. — Hebrews 7:27

Only One Sacrifice

There were priests in the Old Testament, but now Christ, our great High Priest has come. He completed the work that they could only begin. With a priest and an altar you have something else: you have a sacrifice. For hundreds of years, at God's instruction, the ancient Hebrew priests offered sacrifices with many specific guidelines. There were daily sacrifices and specific annual offerings. They may have "forgiven" sins temporarily, but... More

March 29 … for just as you have yielded your members as slaves to impurity and iniquity leading to more iniquity, even so now yield your members as slaves of righteousness to holiness. — Romans 6:19

Holiness Equals Wholeness

How important is holiness? In Hebrews 12:14, we are told to seek after holiness "without which no one will see the Lord." That is pretty straightforward. You can't miss it. He declares unequivocally that we are to pursue after holiness, "without which no one will see the Lord." No man who is not holy is going to live in Heaven with an all-holy God. It is ironic that the closer we get to the light, the more clearly we see our sins. Imagine a... More
