Come To Calvary

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

Romans 5:9

Calvary is a reminder to each and every one of us that our sin—our falling short of God’s glory, our active or passive rebellion from the beginning with Adam to this very day—is what nailed Jesus Christ to the cross. How easily we forget; how easily we fall back into the very kinds of sins from which we have been redeemed and, in a sense, crucify Him afresh in our hearts.

If we have come to the cross for salvation, if we have accepted the Lord into our lives and into our hearts, we can leave our sin at the cross because the price has been paid, once and for all. Horatio Spafford stated it clearly: “My sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.”

The mercy of God is wide enough for us all. It is everlasting, and it goes deep enough to cover every sin that we have ever committed. We can be released from the guilt of sin because the payment has been made and we have been forgiven.

Come to Calvary to remember, and leave redeemed.

Come to Calvary’s holy mountain. . . . Here a pure and healing fountain flows to you, to me, to all.
