Do you know this place, this Calvary?
Oh Calvary, This Place, where my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ gave his life so freely to save you and me, Jesus the one and only son of God. Pure sinless perfect man who gave his all to save a sin filled world who hated him. It seems impossible to believe that God loves us this much, that he would send this precious redeemer to fulfill His word his promise to this faithless world. Nevertheless, He did and He did it for all of us!
On Calvary where Jesus was tortured, mocked, spat upon, laughed at, crucified; oh this place where Jesus took on all the sins of this world! Have you ever heard the phrase “leaving it at the alter” “leaving our sin at the cross” and what a Holy Alter we have to leave all our burdens and worries. Jesus did this for me! Jesus did this for you!
Always around Easter time, I am filled with this sense of overwhelming sadness at the price Jesus had to pay for all my sins. I am saddened at the fact that His blood had to be shed for my wrong doings. Then I was told something that truly changed how I feel about this sadness. Jesus was fulfilling His fathers command. Until the end, He listened and obeyed, allowing for my eternal salvation! What a Savior I have!
I am positive I have heard this in a Church service before, however it was not until this Sunday did I ever feel truly thankful about this place Calvary, only mentioned once in the Bible.
Luke 23:33
33And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Some say it is the same Golgotha, the place of the skull that is mentioned in Matthew 27:33,, & , Mark 15:22, & John 19:17. This place where death and destruction of human life abound, yet The Place where God saw fit to place His Alter, where Jesus takes my sin and washes me clean. Yes, A place of seemingly little significance, however actually the most important of places. Had Jesus chose to not listen and follow God’s word and will for His life this place, Calvary would just be any other place in the world. However, JESUS chose to follow and be crucified making this place of death a place of everlasting life with God! Through the blood of Jesus Christ, we have redemption we have our salvation secured! If only you we chose to leave our life, our human life at the Alter and accept Jesus!
