When I Think Of The Cross

Last Sunday we had a great Communion Service together as a church family. It was interactive as well as inspiring. People were asked: What "One Word" comes to mind when you think of what Jesus experienced for you on the cross? What "One Word" helps you to remember well?

People then came and wrote their word on the board and shared from their hearts what it meant to them.

Here are few of those words. Please be encouraged as you read them.

• Suffering, Salvation, Love, Sacrifice, Relief, Rescued, Victory, Freedom, Life, Example
• Hope, Life Offering, Forgiveness, Dignity, Reconciliation, Rule, Joy & Peace
• Grace & Mercy

We were reminded that....."Grace is RECEIVING from God what we don't deserve, Mercy is NOT RECEIVING what we do deserve."

Other words that were shared later in converation: Ransomed, Reconciled, Atonement, Justified, Assurance, Servant, Righteousness, Glory, Surrendered, Wounded, Debt Cancelled, Blessing......

All of these words remind us that what Jesus did on the cross is truly "Amazing"

"For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (^[a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life."

John 3:16 (Amplified Bible)
