Jesus Was Acting In Your Place At The Cross.


Instead of the murderer Barabbas, Jesus is condemned to death in Mark 15:6–15. Jesus was a falsely accused innocent man. Barabbas was a criminal who deserved to be locked up. Barabbas, on the other hand, was set free, while Jesus was sentenced to death. The substitutionary nature of Christ's work on the cross is clearly demonstrated by these hand held wooden prayer cross. Jesus, who was completely innocent, took our place as guilty sinners. "God demonstrates his love for us in that Christ died for us while we were yet sinners," the apostle Paul remarked (Rom. 5:8).


Jesus Was Taken Your Curse at The Cross


A crown of thorns was put on Jesus Christ at the cross by the Roman soldiers as a mockery. Thorns were one of the effects of the curse that had come into the world as a result of sin, according to the Bible's first chapters (Genesis 3:17–18). Furthermore, from midday until 3:00 pm, the area was blanketed in darkness as Jesus hung on the cross (Mark 15:33). Darkness at midday was a symbol of God's curse due to sin, much as thorns were (Deut. 28:29; Job 5:13–14; Isa. 59:9–10). At the crucifixion, Jesus took upon himself the thorns and darkness of our sin:


Jesus Was Clothing You at The Cross


"They... divided his clothing among them, casting lots for them, to decide what everyone should take," Mark writes after Jesus was executed (Mark 15:24). Psalm 22:18 prophesied that something would happen, and it did. These thugs robbed Jesus of his garments. They didn't realize, ironically, that Jesus was going to clothe his people through the cross!


Jesus Opened Heaven for You at The Cross


"The temple curtain was split in half, from top to bottom" when Jesus died (Mark 15:38). The holy of holies, where God's presence was most concentrated, was guarded by this curtain. Mankind did not have the same access to God that the Levitical priests did because of sin.

So, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places through the blood of Jesus, through the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and because we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with cross and Jesus Machesney Park in full assurance of faith.

When God gave us the vision for sending out Crosses, I knew it wouldn’t be possible without the breath of the Holy Spirit behind it, and people like you supporting the effort.

The most important message ever told

By Lon Weberg • May 4, 2021
The most powerful message ever told Jesus' mission and message was clear. He said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10, NIV). At the Cross , Jesus gave His life so that you and I could receive life – life for all eternity as well as abundant life now in relationship with God. It’s the most powerful message ever told, and it changes lives. As followers of Jesus, it is our calling to share that good news with the world around us. Here at the Cross Builder, God provides an opportunity to reach into hearts and homes across the globe proclaiming that Jesus is about to return for his Church as we move through these trying times here in 2021. In light of this calling, the Apostle Paul asks a very important question in Romans 10:14-15, NIV, “… how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?” Today, we’re asking if you’d prayerfully consider giving to this calling today. Your donation of any size is a powerful seed sent into the nations to reach people with the love of God. W hen you give, please know your gift touches lives in ways we cannot comprehend. That’s the story of The Cross Builder and we are truly grateful you are part of it! Thank you for your support The Cross Builders

Are you looking for the return of Jesus Christ?? As in the days of Noah, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Matt. 24:37

By The Cross Builder • April 20, 2021
[Mat 24:37-39 KJV] 37 But as the days of Noah[were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
