Muse on Calvary

. Believe in Him trustfully
Galatians 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ  and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.  The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,  who loved me  and gave himself for me.

. Live to Him thoroughly
2 Corinthians 5:14-16
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.    And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves  but for him who died for them  and was raised again.
    So from now on we regard no one from a worldly  point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

. Love Him supremely
Ephesians 5:1-2
Follow God’s example,  therefore, as dearly loved children    and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us  and gave himself up for us  as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
. Separate to Him wholly
Galatians 1:4
who gave himself for our sins  to rescue us from the present evil age,  according to the will of our God and Father,

. Follow Him exclusively
1 Peter 2:21-24
To this  you were called,  because Christ suffered for you,  leaving you an example,  that you should follow in his steps.
     “He committed no sin,
 and no deceit was found in his mouth.”
     When they hurled their insults at him,  he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats.  Instead, he entrusted himself  to him who judges justly.    “He himself bore our sins”  in his body on the cross,  so that we might die to sins  and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

. Praise Him gratefully
Revelation 1:5
and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,  the firstborn from the dead,  and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
 To him who loves us  and has freed us from our sins by his blood,

. Expect Him hopefully
Titus 2:13-14
while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing  of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ,    who gave himself for us  to redeem us from all wickedness  and to purify  for himself a people that are his very own,  eager to do what is good.
