Remember the Cross - Watchman Nee

From "The Lord my Portion"

Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. Luke 7.47.

How can we love the Lord? If we remember how our sins were forgiven, we cannot help but love the Lord. The day the cross ever fails to move us, that very day we are fallen. Evan Roberts wept greatly when he realized that he was not moved by the cross; and this went on for several months until God moved him again. But there then followed the great Welsh Revival, the greatest spiritual renewal the world has ever seen.

How did it happen that that woman washed the Lord’s feet with her tears, wiped them with her hair, and kissed them with her lips? It was because she remembered how all her sins had been forgiven her. Let us continually stand at the foot of the cross. And even if later we should become spiritually stronger a hundred times more than what we are today, let us always remember how our sins were forgiven us by the Lord.

We do need to remember where God has taken us from. And, it is because of the Cross that we were taken from that place.

It is humbling to realise that the Cross of Christ was because of us.

Let us remain humble.

God bless.

Amen! Many churches preach the cross, but stop short of the message of discipleship, which is the cross that we are to bear. We need to get back to reading the words of Jesus. The Lord had much to say on the cost of being His disciple.
