The Man on the Cross not the cross

His Name is JESUS, and HE is ALIVE forevermore
We must worship the ONE who died on the cross
We must not worship the cross
The ONE who has died is also
The ONE who came back from the grave

Many people in the 21st century emphasize
The cross rather than the One who died upon it--
It is the Blood that was shed that washes our sins away
Many people worship the cross and not the MAN upon the cross
Many people wear the cross
However, the man JESUS who was on the Cross is not in their heart!

A cross is not essential to our salvation
But the BLOOD that was shed on the cross of Calvary is necessary!
Many other people died on a cross, but it is
The shedding of Christ’s blood that saves us

The Blood of Jesus destroys our enemies
The Blood opened up the door for victory
The Blood of the Lamb provided access to the Kingdom of God
The Blood of Jesus brings us back to our original purpose

Many people in the 21st century emphasise the cross
Rather than the One who died upon it!
Many people worship the cross and not the MAN upon the cross!
Hence, a cross is not essential to our salvation
But the BLOOD that was shed on the cross of Calvary is essential

The Blood of Jesus destroys our enemies
The Blood opened up the door for victory
The Blood of the Lamb provided access to the Kingdom of God
The Blood of Jesus brings us back to our original purpose
