The Cross

Every story reveals the same truth.

Man cannot save himself.

He cannot outrun guilt.

He cannot silence conscience.

He cannot escape death.

Something is broken within him that he cannot repair.

God did not leave man there.

He entered our world as Jesus Christ.

He lived without sin.

Yet He was crucified.

Not for His guilt.

For ours.

On the Cross, He bore the judgement that a Holy God's justice required.

He carried what we could not carry.

He died.

And He rose again.

Death was not stronger than Him.

Because of this, forgiveness is not earned.

It is given.

Not to those who prove themselves worthy-

but to those who turn to Him and believe.

This is not legend.

It was written and preserved in the Bible.

What the stories have shown in shadow,

Scripture declares plainly.

The door you have seen in every story is real.

It stands open.
