Devotionals
HE WENT …
He went to the cross to separate us from our sins. He detests sins no matter who commits them. He requires that everyone who accepts him depart from all forms of sin. Sin is not to be toyed with. It matters, even if it looks insignificant; even if one can escape without being noticed. It is grave before him. He requires absolute purity of thought, motive and action.
Such is the demand of Christ on our lives.
He went to the cross to secure our absolute devotion. He requires that we abstain from the pollution of idols. Accepting him means we will no longer share our heart – its affection, its worship, its trust, its allegiance and its association – with any idol whether it be a god, a demon, a man or a thing (material or spiritual). He requires a love that is unrivalled and has no rival.
Such is the demand of Christ on our lives.
He went to the cross to secure our lives so that we will no longer live for ourselves but for him. He wants to detect the purpose for our lives, our visions and ambitions. He wants us to live for his pleasure; whatever it pleases him to do with our lives, even if it is at our discomfort, that shall be our most holy occupation; we will no longer have the freedom and independence of thought and aspirations that other humans have.
Such is the demand of Christ on our lives.
Are you willing to give your all to him who loved you and gave his all for you?
