The Cross of Jesus - Page Three

We were reconciled to God by the cross.

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by thr blood of Christ.
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

God took away ordinances at the cross and triumped over the evil realm at the cross.

Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Paul gives us a picture of a defeated foe being displayed in open shame. This is what Jesus did to Satan, by His cross. He paraded Satan as a defeated foe who can render us no further harm. All because of the cross.

Colossians 2:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Provision was made at the cross for my physical and mental health.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

We will all bow and confess to God that He is Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer. His nailed scarred hands and riven side will be displayed and brought to remembrance. Some will wail and some will rejoice.

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Isaiah 45:23 I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

Philippians 2:10 -11 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

God's judgement is certain and pending. Men of every station in life will try to hide themselves from the face of the One who bore their sin. They will then remember that the wrath of God was promised to those who refused His sacrifice. They will suddenly remember His cross.

Revelation 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
