Life begins at the cross Think of the rotten, mean-spirited, selfish things you’ve done in your life. Now imagine someone presenting you with a list of these despicable acts and informing you that you must atone for them over and over—that these past transgressions will forever define who you are. Your heart is heavy. You feel unloved and unlovable, certain that others sit in judgment of you with scorn and ridicule. Then just as you reach the point of despair, someone grabs the paper with the complaints against you, removes it from your sight, and nails it to a cross—the cross. It is finished. Your atonement is complete. Your sins are forgiven. Your new life begins. Phew! That was a close call. Be particularly mindful of God’s mercy today.
