*THE GIFT OF THE CROSS*
*MARK 15:22-26*
*🔑📖KEY VERSE*
*"And it was the third hour, and they crucified him" (Mark 15:25).*_
Jesus Christ suffered, shed His blood and died on the cross. The people who crucified Him must have concluded that the end had come. They did not realize that beneath the cross where Jesus died are hidden gifts more precious than gold.
These gifts reveal the depth of God's love for mankind. They were not wrapped in paper but with passion, not decorated with ribbon but sprinkled with the blood of Jesus. *Have you discovered these precious gifts that come through the cross? If no, you must seek and benefit from them.*
The first major gift is *Peace With God.* Sin has made man to become the enemy of God. But the cross has crossed out the enmity between us and God. By His death on the cross, Jesus made peace between the Holy God and a lost sinner.
*Have you made peace with God? If no, you need to repent of all your sins now. Confess them to God, ask for forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of Jesus. Open your heart wide and ask Jesus to come in to be your Saviour and Friend.*
*Now, you will experience an overflowing peace. Then go forth and tell sinners to come and make peace with God. Also, follow peace with all men.*

*Heavenly Father, I appreciate and accept the gift You have purchased for me with the blood of Jesus.*_
AMEN.
