Crossroad


CHRIST, when the time came, set his face toward Jerusalem

REPORTS from those who hated him did not detour his mission

ONLY finishing his assigned task was the thing that mattered

STARTING a new religion or creating a theocracy was not his plan

STOPPING the Roman Government in its tracks was not his purpose

RIGHTEOUSNESS would be established by his cruel death on the cross.

OPENED doors to eternal life swung wide to all who would believe.

ANCIENT questions about who God is were now answered at Calvary's cross.

DECISIONS by individual choice were clearer than arbitrary selections.
