Picture Dees #9 The Cross


Looking at this fine piece of artwork by Christine it makes for a cute decoration come Easter time. However, no matter how nice or rugged we make the cross look it still carries the same message. NOTICE:No one comes to the Father except through Jesus.” John 14:6. God required a sacrifice for our sins and Jesus stepped in and fulfilled that requirement because we never could.

No matter how rugged or nice our life appears to be, we all are in need of the salvation God has to offer. Dirtied by the sins we commit only the blood of the cross can cleanse us, all we have to do is apply it. Dressing our lives up with a flower here and there to make it look good won’t do the trick. Repentance drives us to the cross. Obedience carries us through on a journey that beats all journeys. Thanks to God we all have the opportunity to be Heaven bound if we choose the right entrance, Jesus Christ.

About Me

My photo
I reside in Oregon, with my husband of 32 years. I'm a mother of one and grandmother of six, counting my two newly adopted grandsons. I teach a women’s Bible Study. In June of 2007 God asked me to take with me the things I had learned in my own Christian walk to help those traveling down similar roads. A journey that started with a head injury in Jr. High School and the epilepsy it was to create later for 7 long years. One day I was given the key to my cure. In order to have the surgery to cure the 10% of my seizures that were truly epileptic I was told I had to get rid of first the 90% that were stress caused. For the next five years I took my stress issues to the Lord, leaning and relying on Him and His word as well as catchy sayings of others to see me through. As peace, obedience to God and giving up bad habits replaced worry, stubbornness and disobedience my stress seizures began to disappear. Finally I qualified for the surgery. The end result after 20 years has been being seizure free and pill free all those years. Praise the Lord. God is the cure. I can be contacted at karijo_fluffy@yahoo.com.
