The God Who Hung on the Cross
Jesus said, "But I, when I am lifted up from the earth
[on the cross], will draw all men to myself."1
"In their cruel march through Cambodia to destroy much
of its infrastructure, the Khmer Rouge enslaved,
killed, or otherwise caused the deaths of millions of
Cambodians. When they reached one village, they forced
everyone out of their huts and lined them up to dig a
deep pit. The villagers realized they were digging
their own mass grave. Anyone who tried to run or hide
was shot on sight and dragged to the edge of the pit
that was being dug. When the pit was finally finished,
the soldiers ordered the people to turn and face the
pit. As the people stood, helplessly awaiting their
execution, they began to cry out in some desperate
plea for help. Some screamed to Buddha, some to
ancestors, to demon spirits, and some even for their
mothers.
"Then one woman, drawing on the distant memory of
something her mother told her, began to cry out to one
she called 'the God who hung on the cross.' Surely this
one who had suffered so himself might have compassion
on those about to die. Soon, the screams around her
became just one desperate wail--crying out to the God
who hung on the cross. And then there was silence. As
the people slowly turned, they realized the soldiers
were gone. And ever since that day, they were, as the
book says, 'waiting for someone to come and tell them
more. More about the God who hung on the cross.'"2
It was September of 1999 when a Cambodian pastor came
to tell these people about Jesus and learned this
story from an older woman who grabbed his hands and
said, "We've been waiting for you for twenty years."
It was Jesus Christ's death on the cross that paid the
ransom price for your sins and mine. Only through him
can we ever come to God and be freely forgiven and
given the gift of eternal life. If you have never done

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, how can I ever thank you
enough for the cross of Christ, and for Jesus Christ
who gave his life in my place so I could be freely
forgiven and receive your gift of eternal life. Grant
that my life and the way that I live it will be a
thanksgiving offering to you for all that you have
done for me. Thank you for hearing and answering my
prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."
