The Cross has the power to be our ‘U’ turn in life.
Throughout the Gospel of John, we consistently hear how Jesus came into the world to gather all people to Himself. This message is especially emphasized in John during the Coming of Jesus’ Hour.
Jesus’ salvation gave us a symbol that draws people to him, a symbol that we will always remember him by: The Cross. The first letter of Paul to the Corinthians says, “…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.”
How does your seeing and praying about the Cross move you to seek the Lord in a more intimately? Talk about a time when the Cross inspired you to walk this life with greater purpose and meaning.
Jesus, you draw us in through the almighty power of the Cross and allow us – your family of the Church – to walk with you through the surprises that life throws our way. May our families be made holy by his blood shed for us on the Cross. Amen.
