1 Corinthians 1:18 . . . . For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
From the cruel cross Christ offers salvation to the world, but the majority of people are offended by it. Some say it's too bloody.
O. A. Carson says, "The hardest truth to get across to this generation is what the Bible says about sin."
People don't want to believe they are sinners. They think their good works will get them to heaven. Isaiah said our righteousness is as filthy rags to God. Our Holy God looks for the righteousness of Christ in the hearts of those who believe.
Absolute Truth: There is one God and the only way to get to God the Father is by faith in The Son of God. Unbelievers are doomed for eternity.
What does the cross mean to you?
From the cross Jesus pleads, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28).
