As Mick Brooks says in his introduction: “Selwyn (over the next two months), in this issue of Every Day with Jesus, helps us explore together Jesus’ last words, severn separate statements made during His six-hour ordeal on the cross. … I find myself caught up with God’s amazing grace, discovering that however far we progress in the Christian life we always end up at the place we began – the cross.” I entirely agree with Mick’s statement that many times in our Christian journey we will find ourselves at the foot of His cross – where we discover new strength to carry our own cross. Do you agree?
Selwyn introduces this study with the important observation that we all have changed in some way since we last came to the cross – for many, that would have been Easter, last year. He goes on to say: “Life has opened us up to new things and affected us in many different ways, and because of this our spiritual apprehension is perhaps more heightened and more sensitive. Maybe our defences have come down and we are less self-reliant and self-centred. The cross and the power that flows from it have not changed, but we have changed. The old will become new – not in the sense of being a new revelation, but because we will discover a new application.”
