BLESSINGS OF THE CROSS - DAY 29
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you
murdered by hanging on a tree. AC T S 5 : 3 0
You are not asked to trust in a dead Jesus,
but in One who, though He died for our sins, has risen
again for our justification. You may go to Jesus at once
as to a living and present friend. He is not a mere
memory, but a continually existent Person who will
hear your prayers and answer them. He lives on purpose
to carry on the work for which He once laid down His
life. He is interceding for sinners at the right hand of the
Father, and for this reason He is able to save them to the
uttermost who come unto God by Him. Come and try
this living Savior, if you have never done so before.
This living Jesus is also raised to an eminence of glory
and power. He does not now sorrow as “a humble man
before his foes,” nor labor as “the carpenter’s son:”
but He is exalted far above principalities and power and
every name that is named. The Father has given Him all
power in Heaven and in earth, and He exercises this high
endowment in carrying out His work of grace.
