Times innumerable, I ponder and strive for a progressive blessed Life. Even at rest, my mind keeps thinking on what more can I do to credit the grace and blessings for a glorious life. Which of my works will move God into releasing His favour upon me. What kind of ministry will please God, what alms will catch His attention, what of my works will attract the glorious future over me. I tried everything possible within the reach of my hands, I recollected all the extra miles that I took for Him. Yet, none of my works seemed appealing. I did my best to prove until I fainted. Nothing seemed to work out things in my favor.
Trying hard to peddle in every direction, I saw myself drowning.
I then finally ended up before the old rugged Cross, the last symbol of hope, where all the weak and weary find rest. I glanced at it. I saw all that happened to this man hung on the cross. How he took all the pain, suffering, groanings, insults, blame and the severe punishement. He looked at me, smiled and said “All of this is for you. I chose to do this for you. You dont have to do anything. I took the pain for you. I took your sins upon me. I fought your battle, I shed my blood for you, and I’m a ransom on your behalf. It is finished”, saying so, He gave up His life for me!
My mind paced back and forth, the Cross still lay in the background of my life’s good works, striving to do my best in my own strength. I said to myself, it is done. He has done everything for me on that Cross and has credited that everything to my account.
I stopped wading. All the list of good works in my mind faded away, all that I had planned, I thrashed them down. I replaced it with the finished work of Jesus on the Cross.
It said “Paid all dues, cleared all backlogs”.
The balance that was left on my name valid unto eternity.
Every morning when you wake up, remind yourself of the Cross, meditate on the finished work, claim the credit, walk into victory. Every night thank Him for the cross. Very soon you’ll see yourself walking into a wonderful, blessed and a glorious Life that is assured now and forever in Christ Jesus, our Lord and saviour!
“The Work of the Cross has availed an effortless blessed and glorious life for all those who believe in it”
