THE CROSS AND ETERNITY


I had a thought concerning the eternal nature of the crucifixion the other day. The thought is this: If, during the crucifixion, Jesus paid the price for all of our sins for all eternity, then, anyone who ever believed in Him or ever will, is saved. But more than that, the crucifixion is an ongoing event. Our sins our forgiven because of its eternal nature. This means that the crucifixion is happening as I type this article and even as you read it. More importantly, everytime you or I commit a sin, we are pounding in the nails in Jesus' hands and feet. Gruesome but true nonetheless.
