DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, MARCH 22, 2013
THE POWER OF GOD
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. I Corinthians 1:18
I'll tell you a secret: The cross of Jesus Christ has within it, the power of God. You may hear people talking about spiritual energy and meditative energy flows. I don't know anything about that. But to us who are saved, all power is in the cross. For this one act of love-- in the one moment of time and history-- holds redemptive salvation for all of eternity.
When I behold Jesus on the cross, I feel His love for me. I feel the depth of His care and concern. I feel His passion. Jesus on the cross brings me to rest, brings me to peace, brings me to renewal and to salvation.
For when the cross is preached the power of God is released and able to work in man's heart, soul, mind, body--renewing and transforming, building and edifying. With Christ's arms outstretched, the sacrificial Lamb of God releases... divine LOVE. This is all the energy we will ever need.
Today, let us preach and meditate upon the cross!
