they crucified him there, along with the criminals—
one on his right, the other on his left. Luke 23:33
About four days ago we celebrated what is otherwise called "Good Friday". In my previous post I explained why it is called Good instead of Horror Friday.

Still in that mood. Today we shall talk about what Jesus suffered "All the way to Calvary". All the way to Calvary Jesus went for me, he died to set me free.
Do you know that if you were the only one in the world; Jesus would have still embarked on the journey to Calvary? The sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross wasn’t just a “Whole world” affair; he had you as an individual on his mind. When he hung on old that rugged cross and cried – “It is finished”.

He meant to say that everything about your reconciliation with God was finished: the bible says in Romans 5:10 – “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his son, much more , being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life”. The trip to Calvary was the first trip of reconciliation and then a trip of freedom: scriptures affirm; “that he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life” (Luke 1:74-75).
The effect of the trip to Calvary is encompassing; with it, you are covered in all of life and eternity. With the trip to Calvary, God has you totally and eternally covered. There is nothing that needed to have been done that wasn’t done. It is completely up to you today, what you choose to make out of Jesus trip to Calvary. You can serve God acceptably without any fear of satanic harassment all your life, in holiness and righteousness.
Basking in the gracious effect of the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross of Calvary; you can live beyond the exploitation of the enemy. A thorough acquaintance and appropriation of the benefits of the trip to Calvary, sets you forth for a life of exploits: For “the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” (Daniel 11:32b). thriving in the place of a true knowledge of the effects of Jesus trip to Calvary, the devil waits to be exploited. We have so much to enjoy because Jesus went to Calvary: “
For if, by the trespass of the one man,
death reigned through that one man, how much more will
those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of
the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man,
Jesus Christ! Romans 5:17 (NIV)
Where would we be if Jesus hadn't died for our sins?! Praise be to Him and Him alone.
We should always be grateful for what Jesus did for mankind, for you. It is our duty as Christians to let others know he just didn't die for christians alone but all of us, as a whole. Thanks for your message @praise-eu
