Scripture reveals that the cross is God's power to destroy sin, death, and shame—once and forever.
Scripture on The Cross
1 Corinthians 1:18
New Testament
"For 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."
Galatians 6:14
New Testament
"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."
1 Peter 2:24
New Testament
"He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."
Isaiah 53:5
Old Testament
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed."
Romans 6:9-10
New Testament
"For we know that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over him. For the death that he died, he died to sin once for all, but the life that he lives, he lives to God."
The Bottom Line
Jesus didn't just die on the cross; He defeated everything that kills us, and He did it alone.
Try Today
Spend 10 minutes looking at a picture or thinking about a cross. Don't rush past it. Let yourself feel what it meant that God went that far for you.
Prayer
Jesus invites us to come to Him with our burdens and find rest (Matthew 11:28).
Father, I stand before the cross—that place where Your Son bled and died for me. Not because I deserved it, but because You love me that way. I'm ashamed of how easily I forget what that cost. Today, I choose to stop running from what Christ did there and to trust that His death is enough—for every sin, every shame, every weight I carry. Help me boast in nothing but the cross. In Jesus' name, Amen.
