Episode 94 The Cross and the way of Life

What is the way of life? How do we experience the fullness of God’s life in our daily lives? God’s way is the Cross of Christ. But that is not just what happened 2000 years ago. That is the foundation, but we need to know the application in our lives today. When we think about the Cross, I think most of us just try to think back to what happened 2000 years ago. We try to envision the suffering of Jesus for our sin and also how His suffering opened the way for our sin to be forgiven. But while all of that is good and right, the Cross and what God did there also has real application in our daily lives. Today we explore that subject further.

• The Cross is the foundation of everything God is doing today
• The Cross is the way we partake of the life of God
• The principle of the Cross applies to every aspect of our life
• God is the One who will apply the Cross in the circumstances of our life
• The Cross is the way we experience the fullness of God’s life
• Our place is to:
• • Agree with God in that which He has brought judgment
  • Believe Him to take us through situations that are beyond us
  • Obey when He sheds light on our pathway
• The power of an endless (resurrection life) is our experience (life out of death)
