THE OLD RUGGED CROSS AND REVIVAL

Revival can be found at the place you were made alive -- the cross. Does the old rugged cross still have a "wondrous attraction" for you? If you seldom meditate on the cross, how great is your love for the Saviour?

Psalm 85:6 Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee?

Real revival is not primarily about getting our dirty lives cleaned up or transforming the wicked world around us, but it is "that thy people may rejoice in Thee".

Psalm 85:8 I will hear what God The Lord will speak . . . . 

That is the result of revival. This means we receive God's Word, we rejoice over the Word, and we respond to the Word.

Revival is falling in love with Jesus all over again because of the cross.
