A-Poem-a-Day
Until Resurrection Day
THE CROSS I WEAR
“For God so loved the
world, that He gave
His only begotten
Son, that whoever believes
in Him shall not
perish, but have eternal life.”
John 3:16 NASB
I
have a little cross I wear
on
a chain around my neck
It
was a birthday gift
from
my husband
The
cross is gold, studded
with
tiny diamonds
and
a sapphire
It’s
precious to me
beautiful
to look at
and
beautiful
for
what it represents—
the
death of My Savior
Ironic,
isn’t it?
Ironic,
like Good Friday
that
something so exquisite
should
remind me
of
cruel injustice
excruciating
suffering—
the
Crucifixion of Jesus
Our
Spotless Passover Lamb
Yet
I actually do find it beautiful
because
Jesus’ death on the Cross
is
the fulfillment of John 3:16—
the
purpose of God
from
all eternity
It
atoned for my sins
and
yours
and
culminated
with
His glorious Resurrection
and
that Resurrection
assures
us of God’s promise
of
life in Heaven forevermore
Nothing
could be more
Beautiful
