The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him. (Exodus 15:2, ESV)

God has become our salvation in Jesus Christ. His strength didn’t fail him even in the face of death. He didn’t have to suffer and die on the cross for you and me and Rudy. He chose to do it. He chose to do it because He had you and me and Rudy in His heart. He knows how we hate death. He knows how we fear it. He knows what sin does to us. So there on the cross He took our death for sin, our punishment. And what’s most important to remember today, that even though Jesus was strong on the cross, He showed us strength we really need to see today.
