The Cross not only calls us to Jesus, who alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—who alone holds the keys of eternal life and calls us to receive His forgiveness and power through our repentance for sin and faith in Him as God’s Son, the only Savior. The Cross also calls us to a life, to the wisdom of God’s ways in all our relationships and pursuits, and to the pattern of Jesus’ model in the face of our deepest struggles and most difficult trials. The same One who died to offer us abundant life in our todays—and eternal life in tomorrow’s forever—addressed history’s consummate bad day in a way that teaches us how we might face ours.
• Forgive anyone—no, everyone—who seems set on ruining your life.
• Though beset yourself, focus on encouraging others who are struggling and uncertain.
• Be sure you are sensitive and loving, certain to take care of those who are near you.
• When seemingly impossible questions come, aim them at God, not at man.
• Whatever your adequacy, never be above making known your need for help.
• Embrace the certainty that God’s “finishes” always have a purpose and an end.
And finally when it is all said, one thing remains to be done:
• Surrender everything to God and let go.
It’s how to live through a bad day.
