The Calvary cross has three steps that lead
us to Jesus.
1. The step of Love.
Look at 1 Corinthians 13, but especially the last verse (when it’s all said and
done): “And now these three
remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
2. The step of Hope. “ Therefore, since we have been justified through
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we
have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast
in the hope of the glory of God. Not
only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering
produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because
God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has
been given to us.” Romans 5:1-5
3. The step of Faith. “Now faith is confidence in
what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This
is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we
understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen
was not made out of what was visible.” - Hebrews 11:1-3
Have
you experienced the love and hope that only come from Jesus? Do you have the
faith to believe and follow Him? I pray you do.
