What does the old rugged cross mean to you? What does Calvary mean to you?

The old rugged cross has become an emblem, a reminder of the suffering and shame that Jesus bore for us, a reminder each time we sin, that we nail him to that old rugged cross, all over again. Lord, Calvary is a word that should quicken us, to say, Thank you, Lord. Calvary is a reminder that, it was there that your Son Jesus died to pardon and sanctify us, and by his stripes we are all healed.  Lord, may the Cross and Calvary be never far from our minds, let these two words bring fear and trembling to us, to know that Jesus died on the cross at Calvary for our sake, he died to make us good. Thank you, Lord!
