2Cor4:7-15; Psalm 116:10-18; Matthew 5:27-32

the cross
this strange
mysterious
beautiful gate
where death
comes to life
where His life given
becomes our own

“afflicted
but not constrained
perplexed
but not driven
to despair
persecuted
but not abandoned
struck down
but not destroyed”

dying daily
to all that is not
of God
rising eternally
to all that is

What do you find at the cross?

How does it bring new life?
