The power of the Cross

1 Corinthians 1:17-18 The cross of  Christ is Powerful, so powerful that many in America, a country that was built on the principles of the Cross of Christ, now find it offensive. The Cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing, they who don't want to hear the truth. Many today don't want the truth of the Cross, because the True Light will EXPOSE the activities and conduct they are in. It is that very Cross that Jesus laid on,bled on,suffered on, and died on that still sets the sinner free. Many want it out of the way, out of the Church, out of Schools, out of their own lives. Paul said Christ sent me not to baptize, but to Preach the Gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made of no effect. The Cross of Christ brings all back to God, and forgives all our trespasses. The Cross paid our debt, canceling all legal decrees that stood against us. He cleared it out of the way, nailing it to His Cross. But to us who Believe it is the Power  of God. Pray for this Nation today that they grab the Cross once again.
