The Crucial Meeting

For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. (Philippians 3:18, NIV)

Good Morning!

I listen to individuals who describe life filled with hurt and pain. Their words paint a picture of a huge void within life. Life becomes a series of disconnected and distressful days.
No one seems to care.
Needs are not met.
Nothing makes sense.
Life changes after an individual meets Christ.
Christ and Christ-followers genuinely care.
Christ and Christ-followers meet needs.
Christ makes sense.

The most crucial (critical, necessary, and vital) meeting in life occurs at the cross of Christ.

The Apostle Paul described the cross as a crucial (critical, necessary, and vital) life-point for Christ-followers. In view of that, the Apostle Paul tearfully describes individuals not living the way of the cross as enemies of the cross. It makes sense that Christ-followers need to hold a daily meeting at the cross with Christ. There is a crucified process that leads to a resurrected mind, heart, and soul.

Choose to have a crucial meeting at the cross.
Be still to know God’s presence.
Slowly read today’s scripture.
Let the Word of God settle into your mind and heart.
Crucify thoughts, feelings, words and actions—experience a renewed and resurrected mind, heart, and soul!

Learning with you to prioritize the crucial meeting at the cross,
Kerrie
