Jesus Has Made Peace Through His Cross and Given Us the Hope of Life ㅡ
“And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” (Colossians 1:20)
Remove the cross from the Christian and it is like blotting out the sun which illumines the day, and dropping the moon and the stars out of the firmament of the heavens at night.
The cross of Christ brings us nigh to God, reconciling man to God, and God to man.
The Father looks upon the cross, upon the suffering He has given His Son to endure in order to save the race from hopeless misery and to draw man to Himself.
He looks upon it with the relenting compassion of a Father’s love.
The cross has been almost lost sight of, but without the cross there is no connection with the Father, no unity with the Lamb in the midst of the throne in heaven, no welcome reception of the wandering who would return to the forsaken path of righteousness and truth, no hope for the transgressor in the day of judgment.
Without the cross there is no means provided for overcoming the power of our strong foe. Every hope of the race hangs upon the cross.
When the sinner reaches the cross, and looks up to the One who died to save him, he may rejoice with fullness of joy; for his sins are pardoned.
Kneeling at the cross, he has reached the highest place to which man can attain.
The light of the knowledge of the glory of God is revealed in the face of Jesus Christ; and the words of pardon are spoken: Live, O ye guilty sinners, live. Your repentance is accepted; for I have found a ransom.
(Our High Calling 46.3)
