saying Yes! - Week Eight : 07 Nov 2019 - The Well

Over 2,000 years ago there was a collision of LOVE and hate along the side of road where-the Cross of Jesus Christ. And by the cross were a group of women who said “yes” to standing there at Jesus Cross.

Each of the women who stood by the cross, brought her own experiences with Jesus to the Cross –seeing the cross personally, uniquely. Being together, they likely viewed the Cross through each other’s eyes- confirming and expanding the reality of what they were witnessing.

 

When we say “yes” to standing at the Cross of Jesus we bring with us our own experiences that cause us to see the cross uniquely. As we have looked at the Cross in community, I pray it has confirmed and expanded what we see. But to be truly changed by the Cross we need God’s grace to see the Cross from His perspective; we not just a view of the cross but a view from the Cross.

 

If God, by His grace, will give us His view from the cross, there will be a collision in our hearts so profound that whenever we see a cross, be it bejeweled upon a neck or weathered wood on a hill there will be an inner collision of life-changing LOVE.
