Resurrection's Foundation-The Cross

With faith's venture, I always go back, never being weary to the most significant occurrence in history: a gruesome event, yet divinely sublime under sovereign territory... the crucifixion of my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ to fight hell's fury for the redemption of mankind, including me against sin-wages' misery along such nostalgic visit at Calvary's Hill, marking Gospel story I worship with gratefulness' bliss the King of compassion-jury and adore the Lord of lords Who made possible my eternal victory.... Such is resurrection anchor and Easter festive glory! Reading the Scriptures in John 19:20, freed from guilt I did carry "... on the cross... JESUS..." oh, how he faced mankind's jury yet His peace vanquished my condemnation-worry... Now, I assert my devotion's zeal, defying skepticism's mockery to my then crucified Saviour Whom apostles did bury but now is resurrected and forever reigning CHRIST with love's mastery... Indeed rejoicing, I testify devoid of feeling sorry the value of His cross - my faith's foundation against unbelief's injury... Such undoubtedly braces up Easter celebration midst my divine memory! Jesus Christ’s cross!* His priceless blood! His awful suffering! His perfect sacrifice! His selfless offering! His total surrender! His meek obedience! Indeed anchors my faith’s concrete, firm, steadfast foundation It signifies my eternal life, along my soul’s earnest redemption With my daily sanctification of sure pardon for transformation Proclaiming the Lord’s victorious death, burial and resurrection His Word I believe! His promise I trust! His favor I regard! His name I esteem! His guidance I seek! In His might I abide! For Him I live truly! *Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
