🔸️ Let us give ourselves to the Cross! 🔸️
We know that Lord Jesus could have escaped for the Cross! When the Roman warriors came to arrest Jesus, He looked at Peter and said, "Do you think that if I prayed to the Father now, He would not send for me more than twelve legions of angels?"
(Matthew 26:53). Yes, thousands of Angels armies could descend across the heavens in a single second! If Jesus had chosen the way to escape, mankind would have been ruined. He had chosen for us that He would be abandoned and oppressed by His own Father, rather than go back to heaven without us! Instead of condemning the mankind, He offered Himself as an offering to remove the guilt of sinners (Isaiah 53:10).
Now Jesus called out, "He who believes in me will also do the works that I do" (John 14:12). We may have the thinking that Jesus indicated about the miracles that we can also do like Him. But Jesus did not limit this "works" to mere miracles! Today we too can do all of His specific activities of forgiving others, saving others, being considered ourselves as one of the sinners and giving ourselves as an offering to remove the guilt of sinners!
The way of the Cross is the way of saving others! Like our Saviour, let us 'redeem' many and give ourselves to the Cross in order to unite them in Christ with our divine love!
Prayer:
Our loving Father! Forgive our selfishness in wanting to live without the Cross! We willingly give ourselves to the Cross to reveal Your works in us! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
