He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might
live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
(1 Peter 2:24
NRSV)
Let's change that scene and go outside the city of Jerusalem to a hill called Calvary and ask you to
look on a cross and see the Son of God, the Savior, dying for your sins and the sins of the world.
Let me ask you the question: "What have you done for Christ today that's worth what He gave for
you on Calvary?"
Ronald Newhouse, Texas, USA
During the Second World War there was a young boy in a small town who had to go to the
drugstore for his mother. As he arrived at the drugstore, he saw a poster on the front window that
made a great impression upon him. It was the picture of an American soldier dressed in full battle
uniform lying flat on his face, dead in the sands of a South Pacific island. He was lying there with
the ocean cradling his body, and at the bottom of the poster was this question: "What have you
done for your country today that's worth this soldier dying yesterday?"
Prayer: Dear Jesus, help me to make a difference today that will honor your cross. Amen.
