BENEATH THE CROSS
My friend made me a beautiful bed cover. Before making it, she asked me the size of my bed and my favorite color, and she made a blue bed cover that fits my bed exactly. There is a cross in the middle of the design of the bed cover. Every night I am sleeping beneath the cross.
Everyone who believes in Jesus Christ is also resting beneath the cross. According to Colossians 1:21, we were alienated from God and, in our mind, His enemies. However, in order to reconcile all things to Himself, God made peace through the blood of His cross.
(Colossians 1:20)
According to First John 1:7, the blood of the cross cleanses people who believe in Christ from all of their sins. Also, according to Ephesians 1:7, we receive forgiveness of sin through the blood of the cross.
Just as I am resting peacefully beneath the cross on the bed cover that my friend made for me, the soul of the Christian who is aware of these truths can be at ease.
♪[Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day.]
(First stanza of “Beneath the Cross of Jesus”)
