Yesterday I got a very valuable lesson from a great sermon. It’s about the cross.

The cross is a pride for the Christians. Why? Because the cross is a symbol that the man had been independent and free from sins through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The cross is a symbol of salvation, which is granted by God to man through the death of His Son.

The cross is a very precious  proof of God’s love to mankind in which there is purification and holiness for believers. The sacrifice of the Lord Jesus on the cross is permanent, once and forever. Humans can buy everything on earth. Humans can buy love and even people. But man can not buy salvation.

The cross is a symbol of a sacrifice. God has made His sacrifice for our salvation. Now, our job as believers is to carry the cross of our own. We must take our sacrifice by continuing to look ahead, to always look forward to God. Sacrifice here is something in which there is an element of pain. If we give something without any pain, it is a gift, not a sacrifice. We must feel any pain to do the sacrifice.

After God save man, God doesn’t promise that we will not experience distress. We must fixed the problem for each of us so that we can continue to grow. We must continue to look for God in dealing with problems and believe that in this problem there must be victory. Problems only disturb us, the problem will not stop us.

So, let’s carry the cross!!


-Glory to God-
