God wants to remind us today as we start our new week that the message of the cross is still the power of God to us in every way whether it's to overcome temptation, or set us free from addiction or fear or anything else we're troubled by. When we look to Jesus crucified in our place, the power of God is released to us and in us to deliver us, because Jesus accomplished it for us not for Himself.
It's the cross that reconciles us to God and puts us under His care. It tells us how deeply we're loved by Him and reminds us He's given us right standing with Him so we can come to Him day or night to receive His mercy and help.
If we've ever said, "I feel so powerless", then our problem is not enough power, rather it's not knowing and realising we've already been given it! Instead we can say, "Thank You Lord I believe the cross of Jesus releases your power and grace to me to live the life Jesus came to give me."
Do you believe Jesus died on the cross for you? Do you believe He took all your sins away and gave you His righteousness in exchange? Then the message of the cross is power to you and for you.
Let's receive it by faith again today and remember we already have the power of God in us to receive His great love, and all the help we'll ever need, so our week will be better than last week.😊
