There is something about the crucifixion of Jesus that makes every one of us either step towards Jesus and His cross or back away into the shadows of shallow living. The cross of Jesus is the watershed, the great challenge, the awesome committment , the cruel death and passion of His choice demands that every one of us make a choice about JESUS & His precious CROSS. No fence sitting is permitted, we either choose to run into His loving arms stretched out on a cruel cross or we tragically walk away. It really is an inexplicable dilemma.....how two people can hear the same words , see the same loving Saviour ,and one will see, feel love and forgiveness and the other will see, hear nothing but themselves,their bitterness, their opinions.
LUKE 23:39-40''Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him saying, ''If you are the Christ save Yourself and us.'' v.40 But the other, answering , rebuked him , saying ,''Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? " If you read on the right choice is found in verse 42 ''Then the criminal said said to Jesus, ''Lord, remember me when you come into Your Kingdom."Dear friends the Cross is the Key to your life , simply because JESUS went willingly to that Cross for you, pure unadulterated love demands a response! Remember there is no neutrality in this choice that is one luxury that God, in His awesome mercy , does not permit. Which side are you ???????
