TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - MARCH 23, 2022
Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at 9:07AM The Cross of the King
Today is March 23, 2022
Welcome to your mid-week!
There are many signs that are given in scripture. The rainbow is a sign. Circumcision is a sign. In many ways, communion and baptism are signs.
And, like every sign, a message is given and a couple of questions must be asked. Do I understand the sign? And, is that sign true?
On the cross that Jesus was crucified there was a sign that declared Jesus as the Messiah; that declared Jesus as King.
Now, for the chief priests, they understood the sign and believed it to be false. This is why they wanted the sign changed. That's how they responded to Jesus' sign. For one criminal being crucified with Jesus, he responded differently. He understood the sign and believed it to be true. And, from that sign he took the appropriate action to repent and request Jesus to remember him as he entered into his kingdom.
One sign, two different choices. And, every time we look at the cross, that same sign is there - implied through the horizontal and vertical lines. And, just like the chief priests and the criminal, we need to make a decision on that sign for us.
Do we understand that sign and is that sign true? Is Jesus King in our life?
God's blessing upon you as you meditate on the kingship of Jesus in your life, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
