The Cross-Road

“Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body.”

COLOSSIANS 1:22

The Lord asks that we give all of our lives to him such that we are made new in him. In this giving - you accept that your individual focused life is gone - thus aligning all you are to Christ Jesus. Individuality separates the direct communion and fellowship that Christ Jesus requires we give him.

Reconcile yourself to the Lord in all ways - renew your heart and mind in the word and spirit of God. Seek Jesus in everything - he lives in you - for you - as you allow through faith and obedience. In faith, the desires of Jesus become your desires thus allowing you to be used by him as a lampstand to draw all those who seek him.

All life is ordained by God. You are not created to walk alone or be left alone to your decisions. God is love and Jesus desires a very personal relationship with you. He loves you as only true love can. Jesus asks that you deny yourself so that you can follow him. You cannot follow your way and his way at the same time. The crossroads of man and God meet at the cross of Jesus Christ. Choose to follow Jesus in this day and let your mind rest in his loving spirit.

The purpose of life for Christ was to go to the cross to redeem all people. God loves people so he gave us his only son Jesus to be the sacrifice to break free of the law of Moses. We do not have to go to the cross or carry our own cross. Jesus did this for us to set us free. Take up your personal cross and follow Jesus. 

“For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:19

“The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18

“Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew 11:28-29
