The Message of the Cross-Jack Blake

Tuesday, March 26, 2024

Greetings Friends,

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,  But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God - 1 Corinthians 1.18.  In His letter to Rome, Paul wrote: I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes - Romans 1.16.  The message of the cross is the precious story of Jesus.  It tells how He was tempted, but triumphant.  He was sinless but labored to save the world from its sins.  Yet, He was despised, afflicted, tortured, rejected, mocked and finally put to death, nailed to a cross, suspended between heaven and earth with two criminals, buried in a borrowed tomb paying the price for our sins.  But our Heavenly Father resurrected Him and He overcame death. Now through Him all who believe, repent and obey can have forgiveness of sins and hope of eternal life.

Father, this morning we pray for the lost who are perishing, that they might receive the good news of the message of the cross; the gospel of Jesus and would see the error of their ways that their hearts be softened and convict them so they would repent, confess and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of their sins.  Father, help us who are being saved by Your power to tell the good news of the gospel to all who might cross our paths today. May we ever be faithful to You and Your word. 

In Jesus name, AMEN.

Calvary-Jack Blake

Thursday, February 22, 2024

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Calvary is the place where Jesus was crucified with 2 criminals; one on His right hand and one on the left.  It is also the place where Jesus demonstrated His greatest compassion on those who murdered Him, when He said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."  Leave your old life of sin at Calvary with Jesus and don't look back.  Put on a new life with Jesus, who forgives repented sins.

Father, we thank You for the love and mercy You have shown us by sacrificing Your beloved Son, Jesus the Christ, on that cross at Calvary.  We know that without His death there would be no forgiveness for sin and no hope for eternal life with You.  Help us Lord, to never forget. In Jesus Name we pray, AMEN
