The Message Of The Cross

As we approach Holy Week, we're reminded of the profound message of the cross - a message that divides humanity but offers hope to all. The Apostle Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 1:18 resonate deeply: '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.' This Easter, we're called to reflect on what the cross truly means in our lives. It's not just a symbol, but a powerful testament to God's love and sacrifice. The cross offers us pardon for our guilt, purification through Christ's blood, and victory over death itself. As we contemplate these truths, we're challenged to make a decision - will we embrace the message of the cross and allow it to transform our lives? Let's consider how we can fully surrender to Christ, letting go of our pride, anger, or fear, and allowing His power to work through us. This Palm Sunday, may we echo Paul's words in Galatians 2:20: 'I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.'
