Joyce and I were in Philadelphia today helping out with a field trip for Heritage Christian Academy. I hope the kids had as much fun as I did. We took the train into Philly and then did the un-official, self-guided walking tour with your's truly providing the running commentary along the way. Time really flew and we didn't get to half the stuff I wanted to see.
We did, however, make it to Independence Hall. Through this door is the room which has changed the lives of every American. This is where Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution were drafted and signed. What was done here, in this room, is what makes the place so special to all of us, and so it is with Calvary. Just a mound of rock and dirt, just a hill on the outskirts of the ancient city of Jerusalem, yet it's what was done there, on that hill, that makes it so special to all of us. It was on that dusty soil that the precious blood of our savior, Jesus, fell. Our liberty, our freedom from the bondage of our sins was purchased on the lonely ground. Jesus cried, "It is finished", and I was now free. Amen!
Have you visited Calvary? Have you knelt at the cross and through faith had your name place upon the pages of the eternal and unchangeable Book of Life?
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
Galatians 5:1
