What was the power and influence that changed the cross from the instrument of bloody torture into the most glorious and beloved of all symbols?
The Romans crucified thousands of people before and after Calvary.
If Jesus had not risen from the dead, no right-minded person would have
glorified anything as hideous and repulsive as a cross stained with the blood
of Jesus.
By the miracle of His rising from the grave, Jesus placed the seal of
assurance upon the forgiveness of our sins.
A dead Christ could not have been our Savior.
An unopened grave would never have opened heaven.
By bursting the chains of the tomb, Jesus proved Himself to all ages
the conqueror of sin.
The sacrifice on Calvary had fulfilled its purpose; the ransom price
paid for your sins and mine had been accepted by God. Hallelujah, what a
Savior!
