**THANKS TO CALVARY**

                            **Thanks to Calvary**

LUKE 23:33

AND WHEN THEY WERE COME TO THE PLACE WHICH IS CALLED CALVARY THERE THEY CRUCIFIED HIM AND 

THE MALEFACTORS ONE ON THE RIGHT HAND AND THE OTHER ON THE LEFT.

THERE WAS THREE CROSSES......

A.ONE DYING IN SIN.

B,ONE DYING TO SIN.

C.ONE DYING FOR SIN.

THE ONE THAT DIED FOR SIN WAS JESUS THE SON OF GOD.

HE WAS SUBMITTED TO GODS PLAN. 

PHILLIPIANS 2:8 

AND BEING FOUND IN FASHION AS A MAN HE HUMBLED HIMSELF AND BECAME OBEDIENT UNTO DEATH EVEN THE DEATH OF THE CROSS.

JESUS DID NOT HIDE.....RUN OR PUT UP A FIGHT.

LOOK AT THE TREATMENT JESUS FACED......

A.THEY SPIT ON HIM.

B.THEY SLAPPED HIM.

C.THEY SHAMED HIM.

D.THEY BEAT HIM.

E.THEY WHIPPED HIM.

SOME ONE SAID, WHEN YOUR BACK IS TO THE WALL,

REMEMBER HIS WAS TO THE CROSS.

**I WANT TO SAY SOME THINGS ABOUT CALVARY**

1. CALVARY.....WHERE WE SEE MAN AT HIS WORST AND GOD AT HIS BEST.

2. CALVARY....WHERE EVERY PERSON MUST COME IF THEY EXPECT TO BE SAVED.

3. CALVARY.....WHERE JESUS SHED HIS BLOOD.

4. CALVARY.....WHERE WE COME WITH OUR SORROW AND LEAVE WITH HIS JOY.

5. CALVARY....WHERE JESUS DIED THAT THE WE MIGHT LIVE.

6. CALVARY....WHERE WE HEAR THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD.

7. CALVARY.....WHERE SINNERS PLUNGED BENNEATH THAT FLOOD LOSE ALL THEIR GUILTY STAINS.

8. CALVARY....WHERE WE COME WITH OUR RUIN AND RECIEVE HIS PEACE.

9. CALVARY....WHERE WE COME WITH OUR BITTERNESS AND RECEIVE HIS BLESSINGS.

10. CALVARY....WHERE A SAVIOUR DIED AND SALVATION WAS BORN.

11. CALVARY....WHERE WE COME WITH OUR DARKNESS AND RECIEVE HIS LIGHT.

12. CALVARY.....WHERE WE COME WITH OUR HELL AND RECIEVE HIS HEAVEN. 

NO WONDER THE SONG WRITER SAID MY RANSOMED SOUL CAN ONLY SING OF CALVARY.

LITTLE GIRL LOST HER WAY HOME.....POLICE MAN SAW HER AND SAID CAN I HELP YOU, SHE SAID JUST POINT ME TO THE CROSS AND I CAN FIND MY WAY HOME....SHE LIVED NEAR THE CHURCH WERE THE BIG CROSS COULD BE SEEN. SHE FOUND HER WAY HOME.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 

FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS IS TO THEM THAT PERISH FOOLISHNESS BUT UNTO US WHICH ARE SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD.

THERE IS STILL ROOM AT THE CROSS FOR YOU.

THE GROUND IS LEVEL AT THE CROSS.  PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!!! 

THANKS TO CALVARY I AM NOT THE MAN I USED TO BE.
