Living on the Other Side of the Cross



          Our journey to the cross is beautiful.  At the foot of the cross, we awaken and are born again.  But our journey must not end there.  Rather, our journey must continue THROUGH the cross and onto the OTHER SIDE of the cross, where we LIVE BEYOND the cross.  It is on the other side of the cross that we are born again... again... again...  and the further we journey with and in the resurrected Christ. 

          This by no means devalues the journey to the cross and our transformation through the cross.  Rather, it legitimizes it, and makes it known as when Jesus said to His disciples, "When you see Me, you see the Father."  They still didn't understand, because they had not yet journeyed through and to the other side of the cross. 

          Therefore, let us continue on from faith to faith... grace to grace... strength to strenth... and glory to glory.... as we experience the Resurrected Life BEYOND THE CROSS...
