Commitment, Cross Words

When Jesus dies, there is an earthquake. The darkness and the shaking ground scared everyone there. Even the Centurion near the cross declared that Jesus must be the son of God. But acknowledging that Jesus is God is not the same as committing ourselves to Him. Believing is not enough. There is a receiving, a repenting, and a following that Jesus asks from us. The cross didn’t happen to impress us. It happened to TRANSFORM us!
