Reflect On The Cross

When we pause to reflect on the cross, everything slows down. It is not just a symbol but a turning point where love met sacrifice. The cross reminds us that God did not stay distant from human struggle. He stepped into it fully, carrying pain so that hope could be restored. Reflection draws us back to the heart of our faith.
There is prophetic power in remembering what Christ accomplished. The cross speaks louder than guilt, louder than fear, louder than failure. It tells us that grace has the final word. When we look at the cross honestly, we begin to see ourselves through mercy rather than shame.
Scripture says, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness” (1 Peter 2:24 NIV). This is more than history. It is an invitation to live differently today.
