When I think of standing before God Almighty at the judgement, I don’t think of the hundreds of the sermons I have preached, or the books I have written, or the people I have led to Christ, or the money I have given to the work of the Lord. Instead, a single phrase keeps repeating itself over and over in my head. “Nothing in my hand I bring. Simply to thy cross I cling. O Lamb of God I come, I come.” Our only hope, our only salvation, is what Christ accomplished on the cross!

“Jesus said, ‘It is finished!’ Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”

— John 19:28 & 30 (NLT)

Lord Jesus thank you for bearing the shame of the cross, so we never have to bear the same of our sins. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
