Devotional
Have you ever witnessed something that completely changed your perspective on life? The crucifixion of Jesus Christ stands as the most transformative event in human history. It wasn’t just another historical occurrence – it was the moment that redefined everything we understand about love, sacrifice, and glory. What makes it truly radical is how it turns our human understanding upside down. In our world, we often associate glory with success, triumph, and recognition. Yet through the cross, God showed us that true glory is found in sacrifice, humility, and selfless love.
Bible Verse
“When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered.” – John 18:1
