Calvary's call.
Soul Snack 20/10 ... The Mettle of Calvary
Without mercy hand forged nails were hammered into the hands of the only innocent person who ever lived.
Pinned to a tree, this ancient scene of unparalleled horror would immediately become a living message across all time.
His soul awakening call to all was demonstrated to those who have ears to hear only a few hours previously;
"I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you." (Jn 13:15)
The demonstration of foot washing was now supplanted on the cross. These words of John 13 could never be hollow or shallow as Jesus always intended to live out His entire teachings.
This is the upper room imperative to all who would have their feet washed from heaven and their sins cleansed from Calvary.
Now 'others' too are to have supplanted 'me' in my life for now I am 'nailed' to Him.
The mettle of Calvary will always continue to test those who claim allegiance to the only risen God.
