Come To God To The Father you can come, through the access of The Son, By the way of Calvary’s cross, God’s way provided for the lost. Christ began by God’s Grace, dying on the cross in our place, The entire penalty for man’s sin, at Calvary was placed on Him. Jesus ended a separation friend, between God and mortal men, That long divine separation, was bridged by a cross of salvation. A bridge that’s open to every man, in every nation of every land, An access provided to God above, by the Son and Father’s Love. God leaves it to us to do our part; to accept with a believing heart, God’s atoning sacrifice on Calvary, for sinful men like you and me. As we come with a weary heart, we receive from God a new start, We begin with God a life anew, in Christ who died for me and you. For when in Christ we do believe, The Holy Spirit we then receive, Where in our hearts He will reside, helping men, to in Christ abide. The Spirit knowing all our needs, goes to The Lord and intercedes, So in this life we need not fear, for in the Spirit God is always near. We come to God as mortal men, from a world that is condemned, And we face certain death friend, when this earthly life does end, But God gives to us Eternal Life, through our Savior Jesus Christ. So come to God and you will see, with new life forever in Eternity. |

CALVARY — only in Luke 23:33, the Latin name Calvaria, which was used as a translation of the Greek word Kranion, by which the Hebrew word Gulgoleth was interpreted, “the place of a skull.” It probably took this name from its shape, being a hillock or low, rounded, bare elevation somewhat in the form of a human skull. It is nowhere in Scripture called a “hill.” The crucifixion of our Lord took place outside the city walls (Heb. 13:11–13) and near the public thoroughfare. “This thing was not done in a corner. GOLGOTHA — the common name of the spot where Jesus was crucified. It is interpreted by the evangelists as meaning “the place of a skull” (Matt. 27:33; Mark 15:22; John 19:17). This name represents in Greek letters the Aramaic word Gulgaltha, which is the Hebrew Gulgoleth (Num. 1:2; 1 Chr. 23:3, 24; 2 Kings 9:35), meaning “a skull.” It is identical with the word Calvary (q.v.). It was a little knoll rounded like a bare skull. It is obvious from the evangelists that it was some well-known spot outside the gate (comp. Heb. 13:12), and near the city (Luke 23:26), containing a “garden” (John 19:41), and on a thoroughfare leading into the country. Hence it is an untenable idea that it is embraced within the present “Church of the Holy Sepulchre.” The hillock above Jeremiah’s Grotto, to the north of the city, is in all probability the true site of Calvary. The skull-like appearance of the rock in the southern precipice of the hillock is very remarkable.
