Day 4: The Cross Changes Everything
Reading: Romans 5:6-11 -- Paul describes how Christ's death on behalf of the undeserving demonstrates the depth of God's love and secures reconciliation for all who believe.
Devotional: When Philip invited Nathanael, he did not yet know how the story would end. You do. You know the cross. You know the empty tomb. You know that the sin which produces shame, the death which produces fear, and the evil which produces despair have all been decisively defeated. This is not background information. It is the beating heart of everything you have to offer a broken world. The invitation you carry is not to a better philosophy or a more optimistic outlook. It is to a person who walked into death and walked back out. That changes the weight of every promise God has ever made, because now you know he keeps them.
Reflection: How would your daily life look different if you lived as someone who genuinely believes death has already been defeated?
