Another Easter post
A more serious one that the previous post.
This is something from my QT (quiet time, aka daily appointment with God) on Friday, 10 April 2009. I use the daily devotional, Every Day With Jesus, written by the late Selwyn Hughes.
The title of the day’s devotional was “What happened at Calvary?”
Jesus was crucified at Calvary.
The day He was crucified is Good Friday, “the blackest yet one of the brightest days on the Christian calendar”.
At the cross, Jesus turned what seemed to be the most negative event in history into the most positive.
The crucifixion was the result of sin, but He turned it into redemption from sin.
The crucifixion was the result of hate, but He turned it into a revelation of love.
The crucifixion was the most evil act of man, but God used it to vanquish the Evil One.
At the cross, Jesus did not say “I am finished”, but “It is finished”.
The cross was the transformation of the seemingly negative into the truly positive.
I am glad Jesus is my Lord and my God.
