curtain in the Holy of Holies was torn in two—<br />

because of Jesus’ crucifixion! How should this<br />

impact your experience of the heart of God in your<br />

daily life?<br />

Share the Heart of God<br />

• Why is the cross truly wonderful news for the<br />

people you know who are far from God?<br />

• If you were to share with someone in your life the<br />

heart of God as demonstrated by the crucifixion of<br />

Jesus, what would you say?<br />

CONSIDER THIS<br />

In closing, meditate upon the words of an old hymn of the<br />

faith, “The Old Rugged Cross.” 1 It best captures the sacrificial<br />

death of the Man of <strong>Miracles</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Mercy</strong>. May you yourself<br />

cherish <strong>and</strong> cling to the old rugged cross of Christ!<br />

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,<br />

The emblem of suff’ring <strong>and</strong> shame;<br />

And I love that old cross where the Dearest <strong>and</strong> Best<br />

For a world of lost sinners was slain.
