Lessons from the Cross

Lessons we can learn from the Cross
1. Surrender our all
As we see in the Garden of Gethsemane, it wasn't easy for Jesus to lay down His life for us. Yet, He willingly went to the cross to suffer and die for our sins.

2. God knows best
Though at the time to the followers of Jesus it appeared that all was lost. They couldn't see the bigger picture. God was providing them with full and free salvation. No more making that trip to the temple once a year, so that their sins could be forgiven. They would have a open relationship with him. They wouldn't have to go through the High Priest any longer.

3. God knows the pain and suffering we go through.
We can rest assured that God understands the pain of the trials that we go through. Can you imagine watching your Son carry the sins of the world on His shoulders and then dying for them. He knows what it feels like when we have a heartache.

4. Don't give up, Sunday is coming
It's always the darkest before the dawn. Remember when it seems like nothing is going right. The morning is coming and the dark clouds will roll back and the sun will break through. One of these days we will rise up and meet Him in the air.
