Imagine that your life depended on you getting to a certain place by the day's end and you were not sure how to get there. Most likely you would use one of today's many popular GPS systems to show you how to get there. You would plug in your destination, the directions would pop up and a voice would announce the start of the journey. Periodically that voice would alert you of upcoming turns. If you miss a turn, it would alert you letting you know the system is recalculating to help you stay on course.
For Christians the Cross is our GPS in this world. It directs and helps us to continually move towards God's destination for us, anchored in Christ.
The Cross is our point of reference and our assurance of victory in this life. Without it, we cannot make it because spiritually we were not made for this worldly environment.
So when the benediction has been given, let us make sure we stay on course by not leaving the Cross behind.
Lord, thank you for reminding me that as long as I keep Christ and the work of the Cross at the center of my life I will be victorious in this life and stay on the course You've destined for me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Seek Him, Serve Others: Pick up or get creative and make some tracts to hand out to others, sharing the good news and allowing God to work through you to point someone else to the Cross.
Reflection: What do you do throughout the week to maintain your connection with Christ and to remind yourself of the finished work of the Cross? What other steps can you take to do your part in maintaining your relationship with Christ?..Tony Evans
