i pray you each were able to gather this morning in worship and celebration of the resurrection of our lord and savior. as always, i was in awe during worship, as we sang about the power of the cross. how easily i forget or overlook the depth and meaning represented in the cross. grace and mercy infiltrates much of my conversations, but what about the incredible sacrifice that was made that enabled those gifts of grace and mercy? the first song said it quite simply, "the cross is enough...a love like this the world had never known."
{you came down from heavens throne. this earth you formed was not your home. a love like this the world had never known. a crown of thorns to mock your name. forgiveness fell upon your face. a love like this the world had never known. on the altar of our praise, let there be no higher name. jesus, son of god. you laid down your perfect life. you are the sacrifice. jesus, son of god. you are jesus, son of god. you took our sin. you bore our shame. you rose to life. you defeated the grave. love like this the world has never known. be lifted higher than all you've overcome. your name be louder than any other song. there is no power that can come against your love. the cross was enough.}
{once in darkness, now in light. once blind, now you see. once a sinner, now a saint. once bound, now free. that's the power of the cross. see the chains fall. that's the power of the cross. see the chains fall.}
praise the lord for fallen chains, for the bonds of sin being broken, for us being set free from a life of sin. because of the sacrifice of one man on the cross. the message this morning discussed the one, solitary life that held more of an influence on this world than any other. even when our world wants to downplay and deny that significance, the reality is history shows over and over again the depth of that one, solitary life.
