When thinking about the miracles of Creation, a dear friend sent me this text: "His splendor, power, and majesty are truly awesome. But it is His love that brings me to my knees. It is incomprehensible to my human mind, but it is what keeps me from complete despair."
Yes! His Creation surrounds us, bringing us joy everynhour, but the sight of that middle cross on that hill we call Calvary brings us to our knees in humble, tearful gratitude.
Remember how God describes Creation in the Book of Job? He tells us that the angels sang and shouted for joy! They cheered Him on -- eagerly awaiting each new scene -- waterfalls cascading down glorious mountains! A sunset! A butterfly! A giraffe! Encore again! Each act more spectacular that the one before. Then a man...and a woman!
"You did all this for them?" they must have wondered in amazement.
Then the cross...You're doing this for them? "No angels in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward bends their burning eyes at mysteries so bright."
The angels' applause and joy turns to tears and horror-- "You're doing this for them?"
Yes, He did it for us - for you and for me!
Come back to the cross this morning...revisit what He did there...Yes! For us!
Or is this your first trip? There's room. Though millions have come, there's still room for one...for you!
Come to the cross...right now!
