An Unintentional Tribute

As I meditated upon how the Romans Jews said, “He saved others, they said’ ‘but he can't save himself!’” (Matthew 27:42a, NIV), I observed how the humiliation and shame that our Lord endured for us on the cross of Calvary. As such, I am being reminded of how those who save themselves cannot save others and those who save others cannot save themselves – cannot save themselves from trouble, sorrow, hurts, disappointments, pain, and death. Truly, I read how Cicero, a Roman philosopher once said of crucifixion that “Far be the very name of a cross not only from the bodies of Roman citizens, but from their imaginations, eyes and ears” as he highlighted this point inside the Every Day Light online devotional text. And, I read how the apostle Paul emphasized the cross as deliverance from sin ad guilt of shame (Galatians 1:4, NIV).

Indeed, Spencer said, “It is a great mystery, yet an everlasting fact, that goodness in all moral natures has the doom of bleeding upon it, allowing it to conquer only as it bleeds. All goodness conquers by a cross” as he also mentioned his point inside the Every Day Light online devotional text too. By this, I see how the law of saving by self-giving runs through life that takes place over the law of the universe. 

Hence, this prompts me to thank Jesus for having paid the ransom of my sin and how He had redeemed from all of my wickedness of sin like how He died for all people and He have redeemed them from all of their wickedness (1Timothy 2:6a, NIV) as I reflected upon my today’s reading.

Is Jesus your Saviour today?
