Long ago, drop by drop, the Blood of Christ’s life ebbed out of His heart. It stained Calvary’s hill, spelling out in crimson letters the story of the love that surpasses all love.
Today, more than a billion folks around the whole world – the simple and the wise, those who live in jungles and those who live in concrete apartment blocks, factory workers and academics – take that message as the truth above all truths.
It shows us the concerns of God’s heart and a wisdom, which soars far above our cloud-hopping minds. Great intellects have bowed to it. Saul of Tarsus, once full of biting hatred, came to see the Cross as the logic of God. He said it was a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks but the power of God to all that believe (1 Corinthians 1:23-24).
Christ’s death was His greatest achievement and God’s greatest act. The power of love conquered the love of power.
It was no mistake, no misfortune, and no accident. Christ was not a martyred victim, but a mighty victor, our champion and God’s hero.
The Father in heaven sent Him to hunt out and destroy the devil and evil. A greater David faced a greater Goliath.
The Son of God overthrew our greatest enemy, sin, and our final foe, death.
