Luke 23:13-43
Louis Tamburro

Jesus stood in our place for our sins, so we can enjoy eternal paradise with him. Are you carrying a cross of fear and uncertainty, wondering if you’ll end up in eternal hell, or eternal paradise in heaven? The cross shows Jesus loves you and is willing to save you. Are you carrying a cross filled with sin, shame, regret, wondering if Jesus will still love and forgive you? The cross shows he loves you and is willing to forgive you. Are you carrying a cross filled with the pains of unanswered prayers, the pains of Jesus not fixing the cross you’re carrying in life, and you’re wondering if he loves and cares about you? The cross shows he loves and cares about you. The way to know if Jesus loves you, saves you, forgives you, cares about you, is to look at the cross and the excruciating pain he went through for you.
