THE CROSS OF CALVARY

By Evelyn Melendez

 

The Cross of Calvary should contemplate with joy, with joy, with Christian devotion because it has great many privileges and benefits, but we must not forget that the reality of the Cross was a very terrible experience that she died in some ways it is impossible to describe.Our Lord Jesus Christ who know the conditions of humanity lost in sin, sunk in misery, ruined by their own wickedness, renounce all its amenities heavenly throne and crown to die on the cross for all sinners.Christ had declared with certainty and clarity that would give his life a ransom for many, and the Apostle Peter on the day of Pentecost declared "delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God."From the beginning the Lord knows precisely the courage to go to the Cross of Calvary and march steadily toward her because he knew that Cross would take the imminent defeat of the enemies of humanity, He knows that the Cross was the goal established and consent of his life.Our Lord Jesus Christ of simple and humble birth in a manger in Bethlehem happens to be crucified on a rustic wooden cross, which became the only effective sacrificial altar and forever where our dear Savior was the sin offering only valid for all mankind who consents and so died the just for the unjust, the Lamb of God who took away the sins of the world.There was a large crowd witnessing everything that happened on the hill called Calvary and the best they believed that this event was just one of those used to see in that time they did not know that crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth was very different from all others, did not know that this event would be the center of the history of mankind and that all those who took part in the scene of the Cross would be remembered through the centuries.In the Cross is that we can see the true nature of sin and evil, and as evil as transgression. In the Cross we find Christ tied for our sins because He was the only one who could pay the price of sin, was our representative, our substitute who took over their shoulder, our sins and thus pass through the terrible loneliness of death Cross.How is it possible not to love and who loved us and bought us with the price of blood. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved, accepted as your personal Savior."
