What The Crucifixion Of Jesus Should Mean To Us! [Walk-Line]
The Crucifixion of Jesus is not just a moment in history; it is the defining act of God’s love that reshapes our identity and our daily living.
When Paul says, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20), he invites us to see the Cross as the place where our old selves—our guilt, striving, and self‑reliance—were put to death.
The life we now live is rooted in trust: a steady, grateful dependence on the One who gave Himself for us.
Peter echoes this when he reminds believers that Jesus “bore our sins in His body on the tree” so that we might “live for righteousness” (1 Peter 2:24).
The Cross, then, is both rescue and calling. It frees us from the weight of sin and empowers us to walk in a new way—humbly, courageously, and with a love shaped by the One who loved us first.
on which the Prince of glory died,
my richest gain I count but loss,
and pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
save in the death of Christ, my God!
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them through his blood.
See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
sorrow and love flow mingled down.
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
that were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all.
