The Power of the Cross

In the back of my book is written:

"I am only able to share these stories now because of the reminder I was given at Easter time this year. I'd been carrying around all the hurt and shame and suffering and pain from my time in China, but I was gently reminded that through His brutal death, I dont have to carry it around with me anymore.
Its not mine to carry.
Jesus already took the beating for me.
The fight has already been fought. The battle has already been won."

"What can take a dying man and raise him up to life again?
What can heal a wounded soul?
What can make us white as snow?
What can fill the emptiness?
What can heal the brokeness?
Brokeness...

What restores our faith is God?
What reveals the Fatehr's love?
What can lead the wayward home?
What can melt a heart of stone?
What can free the guilty ones?
What can save and overcome?
Overcome...

Mighty.
Awesome.
Wonderful
is the holy cross.
Where the lamb laid down his life,
to lift us from the fall.
Mighty is the power of the cross."


I love the simplicity of this song.
It only because of Jesus' scarifice on the cross that we are able to live now,
and forever.
Just like it says:
Where the lamb laid down his life,
to lift us from the fall.
Coz without him laying down his life,
his everything,
we too would be dead.
Thank you Jesus.
