“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.”
Most of us have one or two lying around our house. You may be wearing one right now. They adorn everything from book covers to cars to clothing. On a side note, I find it odd that some who wear them do not act as if they care too much about them. It has become an adoring fashion.
The mere mention of it has changed over the many years since it was first known as a device of death. Those in the first century would find the wearing of a cross to a thing of disgust, but many see it is different. Josephus described death on the cross as “the most wretched of deaths.” (Josephus, Jewish War, 7.203)
Let's dive into the Cross even more.
May you be blessed in seeing the cross.
