After tornadoes ripped through Marysville, Indiana on March 2, all that was left of the Marysville Christian Church building was the steeple. It seems as if the Lord was saying, “You still have the cross. That’s the most important thing.”

The storms of life can bring all kinds of devastation. Wealth can disappear rapidly. A job can quickly be taken away. Your health may suddenly leave you. A relationship can quickly end.

When you are left to pick up the pieces of your life, remember that the cross of Jesus is still there. The sacrificial death of Jesus continues to assure your salvation. The most important thing in your life—a relationship with Jesus Christ—can never be taken away from you. The next time life deals you a severe blow, remember this—the cross remains!

“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.”–Romans 5:6.
