In Touch Devotional 3rd April 2021 with Dr Charles Stanley – The Necessity of the Cross

Read Today’s Dr Charles Stanley In Touch Devotional for Saturday 3 April 2021. Be inspired and be blessed.

TOPIC: THE NECESSITY OF THE CROSS (Dr Charles Stanley 2021)

Scripture: Colossians 2:9-15

What does the cross mean to you? Many people in the world today view it as a symbol of Christianity, but think about what it represented in Christ’s day. Nobody wore a miniature cross around the neck or displayed one in a place of worship. The cross was a torturous means of execution, and the mere thought of it was repulsive.

Yet believers throughout the ages have chosen this as the sign of their faith. In fact, to remove the cross from our teaching and theology would leave nothing but an empty, powerless religion. How could anyone be saved if Christ had not been crucified and resurrected? According to Scripture, there can be no forgiveness without the shedding of blood (Heb. 9:22). Christ had to bear the punishment for our sin in order for God to grant us forgiveness.

Every time you see a cross, remember what it really was—an instrument of execution. Then thank Jesus that He was willing to be crucified so the Father could forgive you of sin. Though the scene of your redemption was horrendous, Christ turned the cross into a place of great triumph.

Bible in One Year: 1 Samuel 30-31
