Finding The Cross

This morning the Lord led me to a scripture that I've never noticed much before today. As soon as I read it, I saw the Cross in it, it was amazing!

"Pro 8:34 Blessed [is] the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors"

It's the "posts of my doors" part that caught my attention. You can find the Cross of Christ in every scripture you read! So I'm going to discuss the last part of this scripture first. Many already know this, but there are some that don't...in the book of Exodus, there's a story of the Children on Israel that had been in bondage for 400 years to the Pharoahs of Egypt. They were enslaved, highly mistreated, abused, neglected, unto the point of wishing themselves either deliverance or death (I would imagine). God sent a man that He had set aside for such a time as that, a man that was a Hebrew by birth, but was not raised with his people or in bondage as they had been. This man's name was Moses. Moses was sent out into the wilderness and stayed there for about 40 years before the Lord sent him back to Egypt to free God's people. When he came back, Pharoah wasn't going to give up so easily. God told Moses to warn all that during the Feast of Passover (a festival that the Jews traditionally celebrate, commemorating and rehearsing what would happen this very night in time & history)...the night before God set His Children free forever.

Moses instructed the people to take a spotless & perfect lamb (an innocent & sinless animal that symbolized Jesus Christ) and to slay it (symbolizing His death on the Cross for us), then they were to eat that Lamb...all of it (John 6:53 read this scripture for sure!), and they were to take the blood of this lamb, and they were to put it on the top of the door & on each side of the door. (see pic above) No doubt that when you apply fresh, wet blood to the top of a doorpost, it would most likely drip down and also be on the threshold of the door as well, with that said...if you'll notice, when you see the blood on the sides and the top (Exodus 12:7), if you were to draw lines, you would see that these form a Cross. So...there He is, Jesus, the Star of the Bible, always on stage and in the spotlight...to be our sole focus in all that we do...Here He is, not only in the Story of the Exodus, but He is also starring in our featured scripture today...He is the doorpost that we stand waiting at, watching for His return. Our focus is to always be Jesus Christ and what He did for us at the Cross....

Because of the Cross we are free
Because of the Cross we are God's again,
Because of the Cross we are "Blessed" (which means Happy)....Thank you for the Cross Lord, Thank you!
