Thank You For The Cross

Today is Boxing Day where we open our Christmas presents, but I suspect many of us would have opened up our presents ahead of time in this present time and age unlike in the past.

This year I received the following Prayer Cross from my immediate superior and it is a perfect visible reminder for me to look at the Cross where Jesus' blood was shed for the forgiveness of our sins and where His body bore 39 stripes for each of the 39 main classification of sicknesses so that "by His stripes we are healed". 

Inspired by the Cross, the following lyrics on the power of the Cross is for your contemplation so that you may find rest and fellowship with God as you meditate on what Christ Jesus had accomplished through His death and resurrection.

Thank You The Cross
By Mark Altrogge

Thank You for the cross
The mighty cross
That God Himself should die
For such as us
And everyday we’re changed
Into Your image
More and more
Yes by the cross
We’ve truly been transformed

And we’re so amazed
And we give You praise
That You would save us
At such a cost
We’re so amazed
And we give You praise
For the power of the cross
For the power of the cross
