April 7th – The Cross and Obedience
April 7: The Cross and Obedience
Scripture:
“And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.”
—Philippians 2:8 (NKJV)
Reflection:
Jesus didn’t go to the cross by accident—it was the path of obedience. He submitted to the will of the Father, even when it meant suffering and death. His obedience brought life to many. The cross reminds us that obedience, though costly, bears eternal fruit.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus, You obeyed the Father perfectly—even to the cross. Help me to walk in that same spirit of obedience, trusting that Your will is always good. Give me strength to follow You, even when it’s hard. Amen.
