THANK YOU FOR THE CROSS!

The Cross and all that it stands for can never be defeated, because it defeated sin, Satan and death in one final act of mercy, love, grace and compassion for a lost and sinful world. What man could not do for himself to eradicate his fallen and sinful state Christ did in one selfless and supernatural act on a cruel tree, alone. What we have seemingly lost the sense of in our cruel world is that true sacrifice is selfless and surrendered for the sake of not just one, but for all. This Christ provided on the Cross, blood streaming, life given so that we could be free! Men from the point of Christ death and resurrection to this very day have had something tot say about the Cross of Christ.

The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it.

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell is terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
