LOOK unto JESUS, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him
He endured the cross. {Hebrews 12:2} For God {the Father, Son and Holy Ghost} so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, in due course but have everlasting life.
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be
rescued, ransomed and saved from the coming wrath.
{John 3:16 & 17}
While visiting Australia. I had the opportunity on a particularly clear night to see the Southern Cross. Located in the Southern Hemisphere, this constellation is one of the most distinctive. Mariners and navigators began relying on it as early as the 15th century for direction and navigation through
the seas. Although relatively small it is visible throughout most of the year. The Southern Cross was so vivid on the dark night that even I could pick it out of the bundle of stars. It was truly a magnificent sight!
The scriptures tell us of an even more magnificent cross - The cross of Christ. When we look at the stars, we see the handiwork of the Creator; but when we look at the cross, we see the Creator dying for His creation.
{Hebrews 12:2} calls us to "LOOK unto JESUS!
The Author! The Finisher! of our Faith (the evidence of things of truth that are hoped for, and the substance of things of the truth not yet seen or fully come to pass) Who for the Joy that was set before Him He endured the Cross, despising the shame
and Has sat down at the right hand side of the Throne of God."
The wonder of Calvary's cross is that while we were still in our sins, our Saviour died for us {Romans 5:8). Those who place their trust in Christ are now reconciled to God, and He navigates them through life {2 Cor 1:8-10}.
Christ's sacrifice on the cross is the greatest of all wonders!
When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride, - Watts
Christ's Cross provides the only safe crossing in to Eternity for us all.
