In Christ Alone

Throughout this Easter weekend it is my prayer that I do not miss the power of the cross!  It is so easy for me to become distracted with daily life that I fail to honestly reflect and remember.  I love love love music!  I cannot sing to save my life, but shew child.... I enjoy lifting my voice in praise to my Savior.

In an effort to not miss the power of the cross during this Easter weekend I have been listening to several worship songs that focus on the Christ.  I have attached a video for the song, "In Christ Alone," to this post.  Take a minute right now to intentionally listen to the powerful words in this song...

 Till on that cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied, for every sin on Him was laid, here in the death of Christ I LIVE!

What does it mean to live in the death of Christ?  The sacrifice of Christ and His power to conquer the grave has changed our lives forever!


No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me!  From life's first cry, to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.  No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand.  Till He returns, or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

Through the Cross, this is where we receive the ABUNDANT life.  He has come that we may have life and have it to the fullest!  As the song concludes, we are reminded we do not have to have guilt in our life, the cross covered it!  There is no need to fear death, the cross conquered it!

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how WIDE and LONG and HIGH and DEEP is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God..."  Ephesians 3:17-19

This is my prayer for myself, as well as for you, as we attend a variety of church services tomorrow to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  May we take time to reflect tonight and in the days ahead on the power of the cross and its impact on our lives EVERYDAY.  Oh, how far I am from ever fully understanding the love of my Savior.
