Why Preach The Cross ?
"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are being saved it is the power of God." 1 Cor. 1:18
Reflections from the Cross
My mind rejects that which causes pain and brings shame and then blames another for what I have done ...
My soul denies that which brought persecution to the Perfect One, yet embraces self-centered service as an acceptable sacrifice ...
My intellect tells me that the cross is a symbol of defeat and uneccessary suffering for a condition that doesn't exist ...
BUT
My heart tells me that the cross is the greatest representation of God's love for ME! ~ by Melvena L. Knight

"Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5 : 7-8
Every one of us has done something that displeases God, but He loves us in spite of our sin and paid the debt required at the cross.
In fact, our admission of sin gives God permission to RESCUE us!
