    Jonny Diaz Bible Study Inspired By the Song "Beauty Of The Cross"

    By ino | Christian News | 0 comment | 2 March, 2011 | 0

    “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

    [audio:https://freeccm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/05-Beauty-Of-The-Cross.mp3|titles=Beauty Of The Cross]

    The cross is an ugly sight. Imagine Jesus, bloody, torn, bruised,  hanging from wood. He’s beaten, He’s struggling just to breathe. Everyone gathers around, watching, as this man is mocked and ridiculed. What does He do? He just takes it. He’s defenseless. It’s a morbid, depressing thing to take in. All you can do is just stand there, watching Him die a horrific, painful death.

    Fast forward to today and look at Christians wearing crosses in memory of that day. Even Jonny Diaz’s song talks about the “beauty” of the cross. If it is such a horrible sight, how can we find any beauty there? Isn’t that a bit twisted?

    When we look at what happened afterward, we find the answer. While it looked like Jesus died in shame, not as powerful as He claimed, when we listen to the rest of the story we see just how contrary to the truth that notion is. Jesus rose from the dead three days later, conquering the grave and paying the price for our sins.  He overcame the world, giving us the opportunity to live again with Him. When we look at the cross this way, as the tool He used to conquer sin, it suddenly strikes us as something different entirely. Jesus, fully man and fully God, is the only existing being who was capable of overcoming death. Without Him, we would have no hope. “The beauty of the cross is that there’s One who has redeemed my soul. The beauty of the cross is that I’m finally free and letting go. The beauty of the cross is that Your grace has found me just as I am.” Because of the cross, we are able to enter into eternity with God. When we realize what this means for us, we are left with no other image but just how beautiful the cross is.

    Lyrics:

    At the cross I find the beauty of Your matchless grace
    At the cross I see a King who died to take my place
    It’s the moment that you made me clean and pardoned my soul
    Amazing grace that I would be allowed unto Your throne
    Not by my own will but solely by Your will alone
    I’m unworthy of this love You ‘re showing to me
    I see my desperate need

    CHORUS:
    The beauty of the cross is that there’s One who has redeemed my soul
    The beauty of the cross is that I’m finally free and letting go
    The beauty of the cross is that Your grace has found me just as I am

    Not by my own works that I may boast or I may come
    Simply through your Son the sinless and Exalted One
    Only through the cross that I’m made clean to draw near to you
    Saved so that You would receive all glory due Your name
    Everlasting God from age to age you never change
    A true love story remains for all eternity
    That all the world would see

    CHORUS

    My sinful soul could only be
    Redeemed by the blood of a sinless King
    So you came to the world that You had made
    Conquered sin on the cross and You rose from the grave

    CHORUS

    Beauty Of The Cross, Bible Study, Devotional, Jonny Diaz
