We often hear people saying that they sacrificed x or y for z. Sometimes their sacrifice can seem insignificant to others who don’t truly understand just what the sacrifice means to those involved. Other times the sacrifices we hear others have made can sound awesome and beyond belief because of the just how much they appear to have sacrificed.
Whatever the sacrifice, the important thing is the reason for the sacrifice and the willingness the person showed to make the sacrifice. There is of course one person in history who has paid the ultimate sacrifice just for you and for me, and that of course is Jesus.
Today on Good Friday, we celebrate and remember the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus paid all those years ago when He was crucified at Calvary.
Don’t let Jesus’ sacrifice be in vain, let Jesus into your life today by kneeling before Him at the foot of the cross and offering yourself to His service.
At The Foot of The Cross by Kathryn Scott
At the foot of the cross
Where grace and suffering meet
You have shown me Your love
Through the judgment You received
And You’ve won my heart
Yes You’ve won my heart
Now I can
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
At the foot of the cross
Where I am made complete
You have given me life
Through the death You bore for me
I’m laying every burden down
I’m laying every burden down
