December 18 The Language of the Cross – Romans 5：1-10

I recalled some seniors in my family said this “Actions speak louder than words.” The reason was that many children didn’t listen at their parents’ instructions. The problem was that so many parents didn’t show themselves as good examples. The parents yelled and screamed at the kids and still never got the result. The kids talked back because the parents didn’t do what they told the kids not to.

Of all the action-based messages in the universe, there’s one that matters most. When we want to be shown who we are in God’s eyes, we need look no further than His actions on the cross. In Paul wrote, “God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)  ” The cross shows us who we are: those whom God so loved that He gave His one and only Son for us.” (John 3:16)

Against the mixed messages and confusing actions of broken people in a broken culture, the message of God is clear. Who are you? You’re the one so loved by God that He gave His Son for Your rescue. Consider the price He paid for you and the wonderful reality that, to Him, you were always worth it.
