"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 ~
What is the message of the cross?
It is a message of hope for hopeless people. Forgiveness and cleansing. Grace, mercy and peace. It is a message of God's unconditional love. Of redemption and relationship. It is a message of joy and pardon and a new way of being. Death to self and life eternal. It is strength for the weary and adoption as sons.
The cross is God, beckoning, pleading with us to return to Him. To be reunited with the One who formed us. It is God providing the Way to become the people we were created to be.
How is it possible for all this to be considered foolishness? Who could turn down such a gift?
Please, be reconciled to Him. He is stretching out His arms to you right now.
