“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (I Corinthians 1:18)
As we approach the Easter season and the observance and celebration of the resurrection of Christ it is necessary to remember that had Christ not died there would have been no resurrection. As we look at His death, burial and resurrection we must look at the cross, the instrument chosen by the Romans for execution.
If each letter in the word “CROSS” can represent a word or phrase it may help someone understand better the cross of Christ.
Central theme of Biblical truth. (I Corinthians 2:1-2)
Resisted by the world who sees it as foolishness (I Corinthians 1:18)
Only the cross can explain both God’s wrath toward sin and His love for sinners.
Stumbling block for those seeking to earn salvation by good deeds. (I Cor. 1:22-23)
Sinner’s salvation. (I Corinthians 1:18, 21)
