How does the Cross affect me?
I know that Jesus Christ died ‘for’ me. But what does that mean?
Someone says: ‘Would you go shopping for me?’ They hope that you will go instead of them. If you don’t go, they will have to! It’s the principle of substitution, or – in the case of the Cross – ‘penal substitution’, as the Bible students term it. Someone else has endured sin’s penalty in my place. That person has become my substitute.
In football, to send on a substitute sounds like a ‘second best’. Not so at the Cross. Nothing that God provides is second best. Jesus Christ, who is God in human form, had no sin of his own; consequently, he was the only person qualified to take upon himself the penalty of separation from God, which is spiritual death (Romans 6:23).
Christ came ‘to give his life as a ransom for (or instead of) many’ (Mark 10:45). This principle of substitution is the underlying reality. He died instead of me. This works out in different ways:
1. The Cross means penalty paid. The theological word here is REDEMPTION (Ephesians 1:7). It’s the language of the slave market. A price, Christ’s ‘blood’, has been paid for us (1 Peter 1:18,19). Always in Scripture, the word ‘blood' – when it is separated from the body – refers to death. So, by his death, Christ became ‘a curse for us’; delivering us from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13).
2. The Cross means wrath averted. The word now is PROPITIATION. It’s the language of the Temple – and of sacrificial offering. God’s holy antagonism to human rebellion brings us all under judgment. The story of the Bible is of God intercepting his own judgement, in the Person of his Son.
3. The Cross means righteousness exchanged. Now the word is JUSTIFICATION, and it’s the language of the law courts. How, despite my sin, can I be treated as though I had never sinned? Only by Christ taking my place at the Cross, and being treated as the sinner – so that his righteousness can be freely accredited to me. It is an amazing truth completely unique to the Bible.
4. The Cross means relationship restored. Now it’s RECONCILIATION – the language of the family. (Romans 5:9-11). It is illustrated in Jesus’ parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15: 11- 24). But our reconciliation required that Christ be ‘made sin for us’ (2 Corinthians 5:19-21). Only by the Cross is it possible for us to be adopted back into the family of God as his sons and daughters.
Four wonderful effects of the Cross. The rock principle behind them all is ‘substitution’.

Home sweet home
A woman was at home with her children when the telephone rang. In going to answer it, she tripped on a rug, grabbed for something to hold on to and seized the telephone table. It fell over with a crash, jarring the receiver off the hook.
As it fell, it hit the family dog, which leaped up, howling and barking. The woman's three-year-old son, startled by this noise, broke into loud screams. The woman mumbled some colourful words.
She finally managed to pick up the receiver and lift it to her ear, just in time to hear her husband's voice on the other end say, "Nobody's said hello yet, but it certainly sounds as if I have the right number."

What does Love mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8
 "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is  different. You just know that your name is safe in  their mouth."  Billy - age 4
"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on  shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."  Karl - age 5
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most  of your French fries without making them give you anyof theirs."  Chrissy - age 6
"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."  Terri - age 4
"Love is when my mummy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."  Danny - age 7
 "Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mummy and Daddy are like that. They  look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8
"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if  you stop opening presents and listen." 
Bobby - age 7
"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"  Nikka - age 6
Sunday Groaner
Miss Jones had been giving her pupils a lesson on  science. She had explained about magnets and showed how they would pick up nails and other bits of iron. Now it was question time and she
asked, "My name begins with the letter 'M' and I pick up things. What am I?"
A little boy on the front row said, "You're a mother."

The whole of this monthfalls within the season of Lent. This is the annual opportunity to stop and think about how we can grow closer to our Lord in our daily lives. It is traditional to make special efforts to observe Lent and remember all that God has done for us. Some do this by giving up something – if you do that, then do take up something in its place. If, for example, you give up some luxury, then donate what you would have spent on it to some good cause. Better still, take up something new – make special time for prayer, perhaps by joining in the Wednesday prayers in Longford at 5.00p.m. Or join in one of the daily services in our parish churches. Take some time to be quiet with God – whether at home or in church or elsewhere. (Most of our churches are open throughout the day, so do make use of that opportunity). In your prayers, remember those in special need and pray for the work of the church in our parishes. Is there something you could take up or make a special effort to do this Lent?

To use the phrase of our Archbishops – "Love life, Love Lent"

Michael Bishop

(Rector)
