As Good Friday and Easter approach I was thinking about the significance of the Cross and what it means. Without the cross, I would still be a slave to sin. It was through the cross and the blood that Jesus spilt there that my sins were forgiven. Through His death and resurrection Jesus ransomed my life and made me His own. I am so grateful to Jesus for His sacrifice. Take some time this Easter season and reflect on your life in light of the cross and the resurrection.
Upon a cross You hung for me
Your body broken on that tree.
Each drop of blood you spilled for me,
It was the price to set me free.
It was in your death that I have life,
Yours in place of mine.
You were the blessed sacrifice
That brought my soul to life.
Now with You forever more,
My heart has been restored.
There was no power great enough
To keep you on that cross.
