March 16th, 23: Embracing the Profound Love of the Cross

n the latest Daily Radio Bible devotion, an inspiring reflection delves into the profound significance of Christ's atoning sacrifice on the cross. Despite being perceived as foolish and ineffective by the world, the crucifixion was, in fact, a demonstration of radical love and the triumphant defeat of sin, death, and the grave.

The concept of atonement and being "at one" with Christ is deeply explored, emphasizing that Jesus united himself to humanity at its lowest and darkest moment—while being crucified. This act of sacrificial love challenges the notion of weakness and foolishness, encouraging trust in Christ as the source of life and hope.

Amid a world that may dismiss selfless love and radical forgiveness as feeble, the call to awaken to the freedom and forgiveness offered through Christ is urged. This awakening is an invitation to become witnesses to the awe-inspiring love of God, embodying it in our lives.

As we contemplate the profound prayer for self, family, and each other, let's embrace the profound love exemplified by the cross, living as empowered and forgiven individuals who reflect God’s selfless love to the world.
