I Was At Calvary 2000 Years Ago
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Nov 6, 2022 (message contributor)
Once during a trip to Israel, Dr. R.G. Lee visited the site where many believe Jesus Christ was crucified. He told his Arab guide that he wanted to walk to the top of the hill, but the guide tried to discourage him. The preacher was determined to climb the hill, so the guide accompanied him.
When they reached the crest Dr. Lee removed his hat and bowed his head, deeply moved. The guide asked him, "Sir, have you been here before?" Dr. Lee replied, "Yes! Two thousand years ago."
Christ lives His life in us today because we died and rose with Him two thousand years ago. Today thank Jesus that His death gave you new life.
"And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior's blood! Died He for me who caused His pain? For me who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God, should'st die for me?"—
- Precept Austin
