Come To The Cross

There are times in life when our hearts wander—when distractions, disappointments, or even routine pull us away from the wonder of the cross. In those moments, we’re called to return—to come back to the cross, not in guilt, but in gratitude. It’s where grace was poured out, where love defeated death, and where our true identity was secured.

Galatians 6:14 says, “As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified” (NLT). The cross isn’t a distant memory—it’s our daily anchor. It reminds us who we are and Whose we are.

The cross will always represent a moment in time, where satan was defeated, which reconciled God's creation back to Himself. So, come back. Bow your heart, lift your eyes, and remember the sacrifice that changes everything.
