If you have given your life to Jesus, he has freed you from all sin. Make every effort, therefore, by the inner working of his Spirit’s power, to remove the “yeast” from your heart, that you might fully enter into the joy and celebration of the Passover feast.

God is holy love, who poured out his love on us through the pouring out of his wrath upon himself. Because of the cross, we can be certain that when the day of judgement comes and all that is opposed to him is condemned we will certainly be saved through the life of his Son.

You and I as sinners are co-conspirators with the persons responsible for handing Jesus over to die. Though our sin sent him to the cross, it was also his love that took him to the cross. We must see the cross as both something done by us and something done for us.

The cross demands we hold fast to the biblical revelation of the living God who is disgusted and angered by evil, but it convinces us that his merciful search for a way to forgive, cleanse, and accept evildoers would come in a way that is equally expressive of every dimension of who he is. The cross was necessary because God hates sin, but also because of just how much he loves the sinner!

Why do Christians cling to the “old rugged cross”? Because it was central to the very mind and mission of Jesus himself. He was not a helpless victim, but an all-powerful, self-giving savior who freely determined to do his Father’s whole will for his life, no matter the cost.
