Call to Calvary

2 P & P weekly blog for 30 March - 5 April 2024


3 crosses in the snow
3 crosses in the snow

Jesus was mocked,

Beaten, rejected.

He was crucified,

At Calvary.

Though He was found,

To be sinless,

He died the death of a sinner,

Between two criminals.

One of these,

Would turn away from Him,

One would turn toward Him.


Yet death could not hold Him.

He rose again,

On the third day.

Why?


When you feel,

Like you’re being mocked,

Call upon—Jesus of Calvary.

When you’re beaten down,

Weary, tired of the fight,

Jesus of Calvary will come to you.


When you’re being rejected,

Gossiped about, put down,

Or left hanging out to dry …

Jesus of Calvary, 

I am fighting on your behalf.


Jesus went to Calvary,

To be the calvary Who comes to your aid.

He is the Warrior,

That stands ready to defend you,

To forgive you,

And cover you in grace.


So when you’re under attack,

Turn to Jesus,

He already rose from the grave.

Let His Spirit rise,

In your heart.

It’s time to overcome,

Because this,

Is what He came,

To give each of us.


Calvary was a place, but to the believer—Jesus is the Calvary. He’s our Defender and Savior. And since we are part of His family, we are guarded by the Lord and all His angels. One call to Calvary draws Jesus near. Call out to Jesus, the One who was our sacrifice. Know Him as Savior—and you will never face walk into any fight alone.
