Summary: The Cross of Christ Restores. . .Life<br> Steps to Take as You Follow Christ<br> Ask—What still binds me?<br> Seek—See the restorative power of the cross to see all things made new by the death of Jesus—spend some time allowing your past failings, relationships, and the deaths of loved ones to come forward, and present them to the Lord.<br> Knock—Meditate on Acts 9:40–41.<br> Peter sent them all out of the room and knelt down and prayed. Then he turned to the dead woman and said, ‘Tabitha, stand up’. She opened her eyes, looked at Peter and sat up. Peter helped her to her feet, then he called in the saints and widows and showed them she was alive.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> The early Church continued the ministry of Jesus, as does the Church today. In the raising of Tabitha, we see Peter doing what Jesus did. How much do we act on our faith in Christ when we encounter the results of sin in our lives?<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Transform Your Life—Remember life; too often we live in the past. Live for the present moment in Christ.<br> <a href="http://amywelborn.com/Michael_Dubruiel.html" rel="attachment wp-att-21024"></a><br> The author of <a href="http://amywelborn.com/Michael_Dubruiel.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Power of the Cross: Applying the Passion of Christ in Your Life</a>, Michael Dubriuel, passed away in 2009.
