Recap:

Focus on the pain and not the gain
Take your life's mission very serious

For us Christians, the cross has more meaning than just the Christian faith. It's a summary of the life of Jesus, it depicts God's plan for man's redemption.

The cross also symbolizes sacrifice and exchange of God's righteousness with the sinful nature of human. 1Peter 2:24

2Corinthians 5:21

The wonders of the cross.
1. We have enjoyed liberation from Sin
Sin means to miss the mark, not to measure up to the demand.

Romans 1:22-24, 3:3-4
Thank God, through Christ, we can not miss the mark. Ephesians 2:9, Hebrews 6:4-6

When you see the cross, always remember what Christ did, helping us measure up, making us qualified.

When you find your self not measuring up, turn back to the cross

God detest willfully going against His word.

2. We have enjoyed liberation from guilt.
Revelation 12:10. One tool in the hand of the devil is guilt.

Guilt tripping is never God' way, method or desire, it's the devil's.

3. We have enjoyed reconciliation.
Colossians 1:13-22
We are not sinless but we are blameless in the sight of God.

He changes our status from death to life. Romans 6:23, Colossians 1:13-14

What to do to stay in that which Christ has done. (Colossians 1:23)

1. Continue in the faith.
2. Be grounded and established.
3. Be steadfast, responsive and firm in the confession of your faith.

Thank God for the cross, the exchange that happened and all that it encompasses.

We receive fresh grace for @dapoojojohn to continually live as a living sacrifice and a servant always on duty.

We are indeed blessed and enlightened and brought to reality of what the Cross is and what Christ has done and is still doing for us.
