1 Samuel 26:1-27:12; Isaiah 65:1-25; Romans 8:1-17
Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there. Matt. 27:36 NKJV
As we gather this morning to remember our Saviour in the way that He requested, consider Him and the far-reaching effect of His cross. The cross with its central vertical beam reminds us that God was reaching down to man. Yes, God was reaching down by His grace so that man could respond by reaching up in faith. The horizontal cross beam reminds us that God was reaching out to all mankind so that whosoever will may come. —Rex Trogdon
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee:
How great Thou art! How great Thou art! —Carl Boberg & Stuart Hine
