⬛️ [ LENT W5-D26: The Cross: Mercy ]
✝️ "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
——
⬜️ THE CROSS IS WHERE MERCY MEETS SINNERS!
——
🟨 The cross is where God does not turn away from our sin, yet does not turn away from us. In Jesus Christ, mercy and justice meet. The cross reveals how serious sin is, and how deep God’s love is.
——
🟧 Do not stand far from the cross today. Bring your sin, your shame, and your need there. The cross is not for the strong. It is for those who know they need mercy.
——
🟥 Still today, the Lord says: "COME TO THE CROSS, AND RECEIVE MY MERCY."
——
🙌🔥 "Lord, bring me again to the cross of Christ. Let me not pass by it lightly. There, teach me to receive the mercy I still need today. In Jesus' name, I pray."
