The Charm Of The Cross



Inala Chapel's annual Stations of the Cross is a spiritual highlight of our Easter celebrations. It's a poignant opportunity to reflect on the scriptural accounts of Holy Week and ponder the Via Dolorosa walk that Jesus made all the way to Calvary ~ for us.

Following this, we met for corporate worship under the theme "The Charm of the Cross...I love to be there!", considering passages from Paul's letter to the Romans (Ch 3) and the Corinthians (1 Cor 1).

The Charm of the Cross?

  • Righteousness from God through faith…(Rom 3 v22)
  • Justified freely by His grace…(Rom 3 v24a) - JUST-AS-IF-I’D NEVER SINNED
  • Redeemed by Christ Jesus on Calvary… (Rom 3 v24b) - BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!
  • Christ made us right with God [our righteousness];
  • Christ made us pure and holy, [our holiness] and
  • Christ freed us from sin. [our redemption]
