It was the most cruel sight of all, a human being condemned to death by crucifixion was the harshest punishment that could be bestowed on man. The Jews viewed all who hung on the cross as cursed by God and so it was that Jesus took on our punishment and shame.
If you like me are tempted to turn your face away while reading this, then don't for I am not here today to celebrate the method of Christs death but the fact that HE rose from the dead, in victory and power to live on to be witnessed by hundreds of people before He left our planet through a glorious ascension.
The power of the Cross lies not in its agony but in its defeat, the fact that Jesus could rise again in victory is proof to us that no matter what the devil has thrown at us, we too can rise from the dead of defeat and be glorious and strong! We can choose to walk in the power of a new reality.....life in Christ!
