Celebrate the Cross

Isaiah 53:4 (NKJ)

Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed Him stricken,

Smitten by God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions....

In Him we have life. In Him we have hope.

He is the reason; He is the light.

He alone is the only way.

He paid the price. By His blood, He said it was done. Now believe it is!

By the stripes that fell on His back, He made this atonement, not for one,

but for many. As many as would come, as many who would believe in His name.

For ALL. He died.

Celebrate Him children of God,

and in the celebrating rejoice and know all

He paid for, not in portion but in truth,

in fulness, that this fulness may dwell

within you as children of God.

The fulness of health, the fulness of freedom,

the fulness of My grace.

There is not a thing that you lack. For He is THE fulness, He is perfection.

Celebrate the cross, with joy and hope in your hearts, not with sadness and shame.

For in Him there is only love for each child.

Therefore, rejoice in His love for you.

Abide in this love, do not walk in shame. Walk in victory for by His blood

there is victory. The battle is won.

You who believe, you who lay down your life will receive a life of abundance,

this is My promise. Embrace this gift of life.

He was, He is, the living sacrifice. Life is in HIS blood. He alone is life.

Know His name children of God, know who He is, know the price He paid,

know the power of this blood. Know that He is the only way.

Celebrate Him. Celebrate not as the world celebrates, but in truth,

and in Spirit. By the blood and by the body of the sacrament.

Matt 26:27-28 (NKJ)

Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them,

saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of

the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Thank you ABBA.
