April 9 Devotion

Isn’t it simply awesome that we have a Lord and Savior in heaven. Sitting on the throne. He went there to prepare a place for us. Waiting for us. All the while, he’s guiding us on earth. Watching over us. Giving us hope and joy. And that is incredible. Simply incredible. But we cannot forget what happened before he ascended to heaven. The crucifixion.

I heard a message one time at church. Very powerful stuff. It was titled The Four Calls of the Cross: Universality, Conviction, Compassion, and Forgiveness. It’s important for us to remember these things. These are the reasons why Jesus paid the ultimate price. So today, let’s work on these four things. Let’s follow the example led by Christ.

First, let’s be united. Let’s be united in serving one another. There is strength in numbers. Let’s be united in our mission to show others grace. Second, let’s follow our convictions. God‘s not going to stop convicting us. We can choose to act or not. Up to us. But, I suggest we follow our convictions. Third, let’s have compassion. Compassion towards one another. Let’s break our hearts and be open to serving others in this manner. Finally, forgiveness is so very important. Let’s release what’s burdening our hearts. Not easy. I know that. But let’s work to forgive to release what we’re holding on to. That’s a gift from Jesus to us. It gives our hearts amazing peace. What Jesus did on the cross for us was of his own doing. Not ours. We made the mess. He cleaned it up. He did so for us to be united with him. Universality, conviction, compassion, and forgiveness. All for us. All done on the Cross.
