Contemplate & Consider Vol. 3


From Living the Cross Centered Life by C.J. Mahaney, on the Crucifixion:

It would be necessary for Him to die even if it were for your sin alone or my sin alone. That's why you and I are fully responsible for this tragic death. As John Stott wisely observed, "Until you see the cross as that which is done by you, you will never appreciate that it is done for you."

Luther said that we all carry in our pocket His very nails. Are you aware of those nails in your possession?
