The Man On The Middle Cross


2,000 years ago, a baby boy born in a manger, wrapped in swaddling cloths, who walked this earth only to be nailed to a cross and be buried. (Luke 3:23) The man on the middle cross, who died, was buried and rose again 3 days later in victory! This man on the middle cross, who came not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many, to be our sacrifice, to bring upon himself the very wrath of God for us. This man on the middle cross was the same man who dropped to his knees in the Garden of Gethsemane and prayed to the Father for another way, having his tears become like great drops of blood. This man on the middle cross had 7-inch nails driven through his hands and feet, to have a crown of thorns struck on his head and a spear pierced to his side, coming out with blood and water. This man on the middle cross, who took our sin, shame, and guilt, and nailed it to the cross, and set us free from our captivity. If you need freedom, just pray and call out to the man on the middle cross, and you will find your freedom, because through Him you are no longer bound but set free from the law of sin and death. This man on the middle cross, his name.....his name is Jesus Christ! Amen! All praise to Jesus Christ, our Savior, for taking our place on the cross and giving us a new life in Him!

Just tryna' write poetry that always glorifies God and who He is, what he has done for me, and what He can and will do for you! If God can transform my life, I know without a doubt he can transform yours too! You are NEVER too far gone, or broken for God! Come to Jesus just as you are and give your life to him and watch the change happen when you turn to Jesus and live for Him!! Being a Christian is never easy, just as life isn't easy, but our only hope is in Jesus Christ the one and only!!
