The Cross

How real and precious the Cross of Calvary should be to every believer. Can we truly echo the words of the Apostle Paul when he wrote the Galatian believers? He said: “God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Galatians 6:14).

Here are three aspects of the cross that are good for us to consider as we remember that great work of atonement today:

His Death:

“And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:8).

The Blood:

“And, having made peace throughthe blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven” (Colossians 1:20).

The Preaching:

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18).
