Calvary's Cross and You

By Benny Hinn

When we consider what happened at Calvary's Cross, these three things stand out:

1. The sin of mankind nailed Jesus to the cross. All mankind was responsible for the crucifixion of our Savior. The Roman soldiers, the people watching, as well as you and I are guilty, for it was our sins---collectively and individually---that caused Him to come to the earth to give Himself willingly as the ultimate sacrifice.

2. God's love is overwhelming. It was at the Cross where both God the Father and Jesus His Son gave history's greatest gift.

The Savior willingly gave Himself to become mankind's only door to the Father. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).

3. Christ was sinless, yet He became our Sin-Bearer. Instead of symbolically cleansing us from defilement and death, the Lord cleansed us from actual sin.

It was through His sacrifice at Calvary that the Lord Jesus removed the ultimate obstacle, sin, that had caused centuries of estrangement between God and mankind, thereby allowing the restoration of intimate fellowship with the Father:

"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." (1 Timothy 2:3-6)
