April 2
OUR SAVIOR WENT TO CALVARY

Scripture: Luke 23:33 “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”

    Our Saviour went to Calvary, but in Heaven He sits today.  Our precious Lord and Saviour, hears me when I pray.  Our Saviour is our King and He won the victory.  Our Saviour went to Calvary, His glory we now see.”
    Jesus went to Calvary because the Bible says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).  "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief" (1 Tim. 1:15).  "For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit" (1 Peter 3:18).
    The awful agony of the cross was for our salvation.  Jesus died there that day to redeem us from our sin.  He died that He might set us free from the bondage of sin that held us.  His death at Calvary marked the greatest picture of love that was ever shown.  He suffered the cruel cross for all mankind, because He loved them so much!
    I’m so glad today that He was willing to go!  Had He not went there would be no hope for our salvation!  We would be helplessly lost!  But Jesus chose to go to Calvary to take care of sin once and for all and forever!  His precious blood that He shed there that day can wash away all the sins of all the world!  Our Savior went to Calvary to lay down His life for you and me and then on the third day to take it up again in victory over sin, death, hell and the grave!  Oh what a Savior is mine!
