What Did Jesus Do On That Cross?
Jesus was humble. As his physical body was here on earth crowds followed him everywhere. There was even time when Jesus and his disciples could not eat because of the crowd. Now as we know Jesus was temped by the devil after he was baptized. We all know the story, the temptations were: Bow down to me and I will give you glory, riches and food.The Bible doesn't really say that the Devil tempted Jesus glory but when Satan tempted Jesus to jump off of the tower and the angels would catch him, he was trying for Jesus to gain glory because of the angel that would catch Him and bring Him down and all the people would be amazed. But Jesus did not fall into this temptation. Notice that whatever the devil tempt us we will get it anyway but 10 times better. Jesus was tempted for glory, and riches, and food, later in the Bible he got it anyway. Angles gave Him food after he was tempted, he got popular even though he did not want to be popular, and when he went to heaven he got his riches. When we get tempted by the devil we need ask God for Him to give us patience. Now lets get back on the subject " What Did Jesus Do On The Cross?" When Adam was created and he bit the apple: The fruit of Knowledge of Good and Evil, he blamed God for giving Adam Eve, like he needed to be the boss now. Then God had to send His only Son Jesus, so that we can be redeemed and live with Him for ever! He was beaten for us. As he was carrying the cross he was carrying our burdens so that we can be burden free. As they put the nails in his hands he cried and cried. When I watched The Passion of the Christ and as they put the nails in his hands, I started thanking Jesus for what He did on the cross because He loved us. Right before he took His final breath he asked His Heavenly Father to forgive the people. Now since Jesus went on that cross, we have redemption and now we can live with Him! But, we need to accept His eternal gift. The gift of Eternal life with God and His Son, Jesus. But!! That isn't it! This is considered the "Hole in OUR Gospel" Notice our. We think that when we say the Salvation prayer and that's it... Well, that is not true. Turn to Mark 4:21
He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?
If we are the light and we don't use it it will burn out. But we need to use our light and show the world Jesus.
