Looking at the Cross

Then the LORD told Moses to make a metal snake and put it on a pole, so that anyone who was bitten could look at it and be healed.
Numbers 21:8 GNBDK

So he said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that ‘I Am Who I Am’; then you will know that I do nothing on my own authority, but I say only what the Father has instructed me to say.
John 8:28 GNBDK

Reflection:
The cross is a reminder of who Jesus really is: The lamb of God, offered as a perfect sacrifice. Every time I look at the cross, I am reminded that Jesus took my place and asked the Father to forgive me. Every time I look at the cross I am reminded to be humble and grateful.  Every time I look at the cross I know I am redeemed. 

Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you grace to turn to the cross, always. May Jesus become the source your strength and joy as you always live in the hope that comes from the cross.  And may you surrender yourself to his Holy Spirit. Amen

God Bless you and your loved ones :)
