Mighty Cross - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song Mighty Cross by Elevation Worship is a powerful reminder of the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. The lyrics remind us that on the day Jesus died, the earth shook beneath the weight of his sacrifice. He wore a crown of sorrow, yet his love was shown for all to see. The dawn of resurrection floods the night with hope and salvation, and our chains are broken. We can rejoice in the knowledge that Jesus’ death on the cross has set us free.
The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57 “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jesus’ death on the cross was the ultimate victory over death and sin. We can have hope and assurance that Jesus’ sacrifice will never lose its power.
The bridge of the song reminds us to give thanks and praise to Jesus for his victory. We can rejoice in the knowledge that Jesus has won the victory for us. As we sing the chorus of the song, let us remember the power of Jesus’ sacrifice and the hope it brings us. Let us give thanks and praise to Jesus for his mighty cross.
