One of my most favorite songs...ever. And Kathryn Scott has a voice that draws me in to worship. It doesn't highlight her but highlights HIM.
So much has happened and continues to happen at the foot of the cross.
Our first glimpse of salvation happened there and we can still glimpse salvation there today. At the foot of the cross Jesus transferred his death to life so that you and I could live eternally with him. I think about what happened at the foot of the cross in the moment that Jesus hung there. He made sure his Mama was taken care of, he gave forgiveness, he exhibited grace and compassion in the midst of searing pain, he looked out on the people gathered and offered his very breath for them even though they mocked him. That grace was noticed by a few. I think about what happens at the foot of the cross TODAY. Yes, today. Jesus makes sure that we are taken care of, he gives forgiveness, he exhibits grace and compassion in the midst of our sin, he looks out on us and offers life even though we have mocked him with actions and words. And still his grace is only really noticed by a few. Many people, some I know personally, approach the cross and mock Jesus. If only they could understand that he looks on them with love and he wants to be in relationship with them. If only they could get past their own minds. I have witnessed the minds of people become the biggest stumbling block to the foot of the cross. Get over your mind and you will find beauty and grace and life at the foot of the cross.
"You've won my heart and now I'll trade these ashes in for beauty and wear forgiveness like a crown. Coming to kiss the feet of mercy I'll lay every burden down at the foot of the cross..."
