We are sure that the Lord reigns; we are sure that the storm is guided by the hands which were nailed to the cross.

Held by Hands That Bled for Me
How unspeakably wonderful to know that all our concerns are held in hands the bled for us.

On a Hill Far Away, and Not Like in the Song!
If the expositor finds himself out of sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way.

All Things Work Together for Good
There is no situation so chaotic that God cannot from that situation create something that is surpassingly good. He did it at the creation. He did it at the cross. He is doing it today.
Go to Dark Gethsemane
Lyrics below the video
1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
You who feel the tempter’s pow’r;
Your Redeemer’s conflict see;
Watch with Him one bitter hour;
Turn not from His griefs away;
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall;
View the Lord of life arraigned;
O the worm-wood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff’ring, shame, or loss;
Learn of Him to bear the cross.
3 Calv’ry’s mournful mountain climb
There’ adoring at His feet,
Mark the miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete:
“It is finished!” Hear the cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid his breathless clay;
All is solitude and gloom;
Who hath taken Him away?
Christ is ris’n! He meets our eyes:
Savior, teach us so to rise.
Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted
Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. (Isaiah 53.4-6)
The Well-Beloved on the Cross
Look to the cross and hate your sin, for sin nailed your Well-Beloved to the tree.

The Best and the Worst Meet at the Cross
At the cross, the worst about us was laid upon Christ, and the best about Him was laid upon us.
