For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5
The Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea is the world’s most fortified border, yet Kim Kang Yoo escaped across it. “For the first time in life,” he said, “I prayed for God’s mercy although I had never been to church.”1
There’s one border no one can cross on their own, and that’s the gulf between a holy God and a sinful person. That’s why Jesus Christ came to be the Way. The Bible says, “God is on one side and all the people on the other side, and Christ Jesus, himself man, is between them to bring them together” (1 Timothy 2:5, TLB). The cross of Christ is the bridge over the eternal DMZ that gives us freedom. Through Jesus Christ we can “escape the snare of the devil” (2 Timothy 2:26).
The book of Hebrews warns, “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation…?” (Hebrews 2:3) Have you made your escape? If not, come to salvation today by way of the cross. Pray for God’s mercy and trust Christ as your Savior.
All of heaven is interested in the Cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
