Who is this Christ of Calvary? He is the Saviour of the world who shed His precious atoning blood for us that we might have the forgiveness of our sins and be assured of a home in Heaven with Him for all eternity. There was no room for Him when He was born, and even today in many people’s hearts and lives, there is still no room for Him.
Our merciful and loving Saviour endured ridicule, criticism, scorn, heartache and abuse when He was here on earth. May God forgive us, even now He is enduring these things because of the way we treat Him. We tell Him that we trust Him to take care of us when we pray, but often as soon as we have prayed, we start worrying about the very thing we just gave to Him.
Why is it that we think that we are more powerful than Jesus? We can do nothing in our own strength. We are powerless against the attacks of the world and satan. If we could defeat satan on our own, Jesus would not have had to suffer such a horrible, agonizing death for us. Thank God for the mercy and protection of the Christ of Calvary.
Do you know this Christ of Calvary? Have you made a heart commitment to Him? If you have just acknowledged Him with your intellect and your mind, you are lost in the darkness of sin. There must be a time in your life when you invite the Christ of Calvary into your heart to be your Saviour. All of us need forgiveness for our sins and it is through His precious blood that was shed for us at Calvary that we have this forgiveness.
