Once Upon A Calvary : The Cross, The Christ, The Criminals

Calvary was that holy hill, where Christ, in absolute surrender to God's will, laid down His life and shed His precious blood for all humanity. It was on that ground that perfect love was put into real action, when the sinless Son of God bore the world's heavy load of sin, that all may be saved from death eternal. We did nothing to deserve such love from Him, and He did nothing to deserve such humiliation from us. But He loved us anyway and He didn't care what He had to endure just to prove that to us.Considering what Jesus went through, the significance of what happened on that hill remains superlative in the redemption of mankind, and gives Calvary a more excellent credence than just a crucifixion destination that, for a long time, bore an ill-repute of infamy.Christ implores everyone to pick up his (her) cross and follow Him. His own cross led Him to Golgotha, a site of unspeakable suffering and shame. By picking up our crosses to follow Him, we must be prepared to endure anything for the love we profess for Him.Inside, Foye lends a better understanding to the significance of that glorious day-the day that the Christ, changed the fate of the cross, and that of the criminal, on a hill called, Calvary.Foye Adedokun is the author of There's No Place Like Home: the return journey of a penitent prodigal. She has one Bachelor's degree and two Master's degrees. But more important than that, she's a child of God, a wife, and a mother of three wonderful children.
