Final Thoughts
The Lord’s death is the most significant representation of the Cross. If He wouldn’t have died there would be no forgiveness of sins, no lamb for us.
The Cross has the power to set us free! We are all sinners saved by His Grace if we have accepted Jesus into our hearts and live for HIm.
When He was on the Cross, you and I were on His mind.
