Heard this term lately? "Crossfit"

Its all about the workout to keep your body fit. As hard as it is, the workout helps keep your body fit, from push ups, box jumps, weights..  and more to strengthen your body and to keep it fit. In the past few years, I guess I've turned out to be more health conscious and to keep myself fit. Good for me!! ;-) Crossfit hurts when you're doing it but your body feels good and fit. yaayyy for good workout!!! : D and bad for me when I get lazy ;-)
So I was thinking about this term and how it applies to our lives spiritually and what role Jesus plays in "Crossfit". Its simple. Our Lord Jesus gave his life for us on the CROSS so we can be forgiven and if each of us submit ourselves to him and remember the sacrifice at the cross, repent for our sins, he makes us spiritually FIT!

His word speaks his sacrifice for us, In Matt 20:28 - "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many"

Quoting Chuck Swindoll- "By shedding His blood on the cross, Jesus took the punishment we deserve and offered us His righteousness. When we trust Christ for our salvation, essentially we are making a trade. By faith, we trade our sin and its accompanying death penalty for His righteousness and life.....God unleashed His wrath on His Son so that we might be spared that awful fate. This is the central message of the cross and the reason for our hope: God forsook His Son so that He might never forsake us. God assures us, "'I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). Isn't that a wonderful promise?"

Quoting Charles Stanley; "Salvation: Jesus bore our sins upon the cross and died in our place so we could be reconciled to God and receive eternal life."

So we are fit when we chose the right path, the path leading to the cross, to the sacrifice that was made for all of us because of which we are all alive!! That is CROSS- Fit!!

Few lines from an amazing song "At the cross"

"..At the cross I bow my knee 
Where Your blood was she'd for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now.." The message is simple chose Jesus, an intimate relationship with him to keep yourself fit!!! :) 
If you're reading this simple post and do not have Jesus in your life yet, think about it.. Choose Jesus.. Choose Life!!!
