Take Me To The Cross

Published on 27 February 2024 at 10:05

Good morning, the song " Lead Me To The Cross" by Brooke Fraser and Hillsong UNITED has been on my heart. If you take time to read the lyrics, it will open your heart and mind to what an amazing God we serve.

Matthew 16:24-26

[24]Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

[25]For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

[26]For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

To be fully committed to God we need to let go of who we were and become what Jesus calls us to be. We can't do this without coming to the cross, where Jesus laid down His life for us.

The chorus:

Lead me to the cross

Where Your love poured out

Bring me to my knees

Lord I lay me down

Rid me of myself

I belong to You

Oh, lead me, lead me to the cross

Take away me and leave only you Jesus! My soul and all of me belongs to you Lord! This is what we need in order to be more like Christ! Lead me to you and to the cross!

LEAD ME

Good morning, this post was meant for yesterday. However, as we all know, this world brings lots of twist and turns to our day. Nothing bad, just the hematologist with my husband and new hours caring for someone. All in all, just a very busy day. No matter the day, God is still large and in charge!

Psalms 139:23-24
[23]Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
[24]And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Lead me to the cross Lord where you laid down your life for me. Check my heart, bring me to where I need to be. I want you to know me. If you find any ugliness in me, take me to where I need to be. Cleanse me till I reflect only you! Your love, mercy and forgiveness stretches from everlasting to everlasting!

Matthew 10:38
[38]And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

So, if we don't take up our cross and follow Jesus, we're not worthy of Him. This goes back to what I have said before. God doesn't send people to hell. People send them selves to hell by not choosing Christ.

Galatians 2:20

[20]I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Once I gave myself to God, my life became His. Yes that's right, my life is His now! I choose daily to live by faith and not by the things of this world. Jesus laid His life down for me. The least I can do is commit my life to Him. We serve a Risen Savior! He loves us and only wants what's best for us. Give Him your all today!

John 17:1-26[1]These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:[2]As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.[3]And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.[4]I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.[5]And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.[6]I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.[7]Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.[8]For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.[9]I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.[10]And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.[11]And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.[12]While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.[13]And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.[14]I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[15]I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.[16]They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.[17]Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.[18]As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.[19]And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.[20]Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;[21]That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.[22]And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:[23]I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.[24]Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.[25]O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.[26]And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
