Scripture: For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 NIV Application: If the wearers of Christian Crosses really understood what it represents, would they wear it? If Christ Jesus were murdered by firing squad, would they wear a bloody bullet? If by electrocution, a sizzling electric chair? If by lethal injection, a sharp needle dripping with poison? The Cross is not mere jewelry. Should we wear it, we must understand the impact and meaning. God came to Earth in the form of a man, and this innocent man went to His death for the benefit of the people who wear those Crosses...and everyone else. Wear it if we desire, but let's be mindful of the weight that it carries not only upon our necks, but also upon our hearts and souls. Prayer: We do not take Your sacrifice for us for granted, Christ Jesus. Help us be reminded of Your love for us, and how much that love cost You. Amen. Comments are closed.
