THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS
(Easter Sacred Concert – Friday, April 14, 2017)
The Cross was used by Romans as an instrument of death,
The person crucified will suffer terribly to his very last breath,
Cruxifixion was meant to be a deterrent to all who turned to crime,
But this means to death was given to Jesus who was Purity sublime!
There were two thieves who were crucified with Jesus the Lord,
At first both men cursed and mocked Him as the Son of God!
But one thief repented and pleaded with Jesus to remember him,
Jesus gently assured him of salvation, before His eyes grew dim.
There was a centurion who was at the scene of the cruxifixtion,
He had never seen such a Man – truly God’s perfect reflection!
He could not but exclaim, “Truly this was the Son of God!”
He was convinced that Jesus was no mere man, but the Lord!
There is a Message of the Cross that needs to be discovered!
The thief and the soldier, they had their souls recovered!
It is a Message of salvation from the many sins committed in life
There is forgiveness and there is reconciliation instead of strife.
Inspiration: 1 Corinthians 1:18; Matthew 27:54
