The crucifixion of Jesus Christ represents much more than a religious symbol or historical event—it stands as the central pillar of God's kingdom. Through powerful teaching and an extensive reading from Colossians 2-3, we explore how the cross fundamentally transforms our relationship with God through blood covenant.
When we place our faith in Christ's sacrifice, something extraordinary happens: God takes our old sinful nature that was in rebellion against Him and gives us His divine life in return. Our old self with its practices isn't just improved—it's literally "nailed to the cross." This divine exchange isn't about following religious rules but experiencing a complete renewal of our nature.
The love demonstrated at Calvary proves stronger than death itself. Jesus wasn't defeated at the cross; He triumphantly made "a public spectacle" of the powers of darkness even in His seemingly weakest moment. This victory wasn't just to secure our afterlife but to empower us as kingdom citizens right now. We're called to "colonize planet Earth with the kingdom" through supernatural demonstrations of God's power until Christ's return.
Most profoundly, we discover that the cross enables us to live "upright" instead of "upside down." No longer bound by patterns leading to death, we can embrace God's kingdom culture and walk in resurrection power. Has God been drawing you toward Himself? The divine life that conquered death is available to you today—you don't need to wait for heaven to experience the supernatural reality of God's kingdom.
