The Cross as

Yesterday, just as I was waking, still half asleep/half awake....

 

I was pondering some current issues/struggles I’m dealing with in my soul.  As I did I saw a pic of myself hooked up to a dialysis machine.  But the machine was the Cross.  My blood was being purified via the Cross.  And the cool thing about this was I could ‘feel’ it.  I could feel impurities flowing out of me (anger, impure thoughts, frustration, and other stuff I couldn’t identify) and be cleansed by the Cross. 

 

Whether this was something that was actually happening or just a ‘positional’ reality I don’t know.  But I do know I felt refreshed and more pure as I woke.  This reinforces a feeling I’ve had recently to study ALL the benefits of the Cross.  I know I, and probably most Christians, see the Cross more one-dimensionally (“finished work of Jesus that gets me into heaven”) than we should.  I may spend my next season of devotions pondering the Cross.
