Having the opportunity to worship God came at a price. God requires perfection- and sin kept us from being able to enter into His presence. A price had to be paid for the access that we now have. That price was death- which was paid for at the Cross of Christ. At the center of all true worship stands the wonderful cross…the cross on which the Son of God died.
The cross of Christ is a cross of healing. A place of unconditional love. From His cross comes salvation's song, declaring to all that redemption is here. From it flows forgiveness.
It’s the place where true worship begins.
In Mark's gospel we see a Roman centurion, who just hours before had beaten mocked and crucified Christ, proclaims, “Surely this man was the son of God”. The supposed enemy of Christ was the first of many to have his eyes opened to God’s redemption story. He was the first among us to see the wonder of it all.
In a heartbeat, right there in the midst of all the stench and sorrow, worship began at the foot of the cross.
