A 40-day devotional designed to look at what glories shine out of the Cross of Christ, revealing who our God is and what He has done for us.
40-Day Devotional: The Glory of the Cross
The Cross is worthy of our continued contemplation, not only as a reminder of its importance in our eternal lives, but as something that shapes us and our commitment to follow Jesus. It is worthy of our intent and continued gaze because it is so rich, beautiful, and glorious in all of its aspects, many of which we will explore in the coming days. As this devotional unfolds, we will unpack many of the elements contained in the Cross. We will find that a number of these elements overlap, even deeply intertwine, but contain their own nuances. Rather than thinking of the Cross as one thread in a glorious tapestry, we may liken it to a beautiful jewel with many facets; the slightest turn reflects the light with its own particular glory.
Let us spend the next forty days doing as Isaac Watts inspired in his classic hymn—surveying the wondrous Cross—and invest some real time and focus beholding it in greater detail. Let us pray that the Lord will open our eyes, minds, and spirits to see and internalize more of its glory—and more of His!
The Glory of the Cross is designed to begin on Monday, February 23, and take you through Good Friday.
