The Cross did not happen to Jesus: He came on purpose for it. He is โthe Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Oswald ChambersAre you debating whether you should take a step of faith in Jesus, or whether you should wait until you can clearly see how to do what He has asked? Simply obey Him with unrestrained joy. When He tells you something and you begin to debate, it is because you have a misunderstanding of what honors Him and what doesn't. Are you faithful to Jesus, or faithful to your ideas about Him?
Oswald ChambersThe great enemy of the life of faith in God is not sin, but the good which is not good enough. The good is always the enemy of the best.
Oswald ChambersThe center of salvation is the Cross of Jesus, and the reason it is so easy to obtain salvation is because it cost God so much.
