1.  The cross shows the seriousness of my sin.
The offense to God caused by my sin is so severe that the only way it could be dealt with was for God himself to die. My sin is far more serious than I could ever comprehend.

2. The cross shows me how much God loves me. God himself was willing to die so that I can be made right with him. I deserve to die for what I did, but Jesus Christ, God-made-man, died in my place. Is there any greater love than this? God loves me more than I could possibly understand.

3. The cross reassures me that all my sin, past and present, is covered. The sacrifice which paid for my sin was made by God himself; God who is infinite and mighty, God who created the universe. The infinite scale of His sacrifice means that, if I trust what Christ has done, all my sin is forgiven. My forgiveness, and my status before God, is based on the sacrifice of Jesus, not on anything I have to do.

Here is a link to a moving and graphic video that reminds us of the price that Christ paid for us. What amazing love!

God’s Blessings, Matt and Beth Sahlmann
