The reason for the death of Jesus on the cross is expressed in more than one way in the Bible. We know that Jesus was talking about the kind of death He was going to die. So why was Jesus to die on the cross? In order to draw people to Himself. We are all slaves to sin. Satan was drawing us away from God. Jesus came to free us from this slavery. As we accept His death for us we are set free. We can then experience being drawn toward God. Hasn’t Jesus drawn you to Himself? Aren’t you one of His today? Don’t you feel Him drawing you to Himself as you think of all He has done for you?
For 17 years, Richard B. Anderson, a retired missionary penned these short encouraging devotionals. By God's grace the timeless truth in these short devotionals continue to be a blessing and encouragement to many.
