I Take, O Cross, Your Shadow For My Abiding Place
Apr 9, 2025 • Rev. Erik Allen
We live our lives beneath the cross of Jesus, beneath God's manifold love and grace that reach to us even from Calvary. Based on the hymn "Beneath the Cross of Jesus" (ELW 338), this series explores what it means for us to abide at the foot of the cross, to cling to our rock of salvation, to dwell in the house of the Lord, and to confess our sins and receive God's forgiveness.
Mark reminds us, if we are to confess Jesus as Messiah, we must do so by standing at the foot of the cross as he is crucified. God is about more than fixing our lives. He is about laying down His life for the sake of our own.
