The Cross 

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!
Philippians 2:8

As you consider the sacrifice that Jesus made upon the cross, you should be profoundly grateful and profoundly humbled. Today, as you come to Christ in prayer, you should do so in a spirit of quiet, heartfelt devotion to the One who gave His life so that you might have life eternal.

He was the Son of God, but He wore a crown of thorns. He was the Savior of mankind, yet He was put to death on a roughhewn cross made of wood. He offered His healing touch to an unsaved world, and yet the same hands that had healed the sick and raised the dead were pierced with nails.

Christ humbled Himself on a cross – for you. He shed His blood – for you. He has offered to walk with you through this life and through all eternity. As you approach Him today in prayer, think about His sacrifice and His grace. And be humble.

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, You sent Your Son Jesus to die on a cross for me. Jesus endured indignity, suffering and death so that I might live. Because He lives, I, too, have Your promise of eternal life. Help me share this Good News with a world that so desperately needs Your healing hand and the salvation of Your Son. Today, empower me by Your Holy Spirit to share the message of Jesus Christ through my worlds and my actions. I pray this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
