THERE IS ROOM AT THE CROSS FOR YOU
"Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene" John 19:25
In 1946, God inspired Evangelist Ira Forest Stanphil to compose one of the greatest hymn in church history. The hymn which is titled "Room at the Cross" is a compelling invitation from the Lord to sinners to come, by faith, to the cross of Jesus, with their burden of sin, and claim His payment of sin’s debt as their own. Since then, this powerful hymn has being pointing souls to the vacant room of eternal joy and peace at the cross. The testimony below attests to this fact:
"Several years ago, a young man who was bent on taking his own life was walking near a church. The man had a gun in his pocket and was making his way toward a bridge, not too far from the church. His intention was to shoot himself near the edge of the bridge, letting his body fall into the water. As he passed the church, he heard the congregation singing "There’s Room at the Cross for You". He was so gripped by its message that he made his way into the church, postponing his mission of horror.There he found Christ as his Savior and was rescued from personal and spiritual disaster"
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God."- 1 Corinthians 1:18
Beloved, like that young man above, there is room for you too at the cross. Over 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ was hanged on the cross on a Good Friday. God used the pain and suffering of His only begotten son on that old rugged cross to usher us into an eternity without pain (Revelation 21:4). So, Easter is the celebration of the "Room" of new life that Christ built for us with His precious blood. So, if you have never experienced the joy of the new life in Christ, then today there is still room at the cross for you. Accept Him today, don't put it off another minute. But if you have, the best way to celebrate Easter is to tell someone about the vacant room of eternal rest, joy and tranquility at the cross. So, why not join me to sing that powerful hymn as we celebrate Easter this week.
Room At The Cross
The cross upon which Jesus died
Is a shelter on which we can hide;
And it’s grace so free is sufficient for me,
And deep is its fountain as wide as the sea.
Chorus:
There’s room at the cross for you,
There’s room at the cross for you;
Tho millions have come,
There’s still room for one,
Yes, there’s room at the cross for you.
Tho millions have found Him a friend,
And have turned from the sins they have sinned,
The Saviour still waits to open the gates,
And welcome a sinner before it’s too late.
The hand of my Saviour is strong,
And the love of my Savior is long;
Through sunshine or rain Through loss or in gain,
The blood flows from Calv’ry to cleanse every stain.
“Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28).
Good morning and do have a glorious Easter Celebration.
Maranatha!
