For the preaching of the cross is to them that
perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God. – 1Co 1:18
There's a direct, deliberate attack on the
Cross of Christ in the world today, and I'm not referring to ISIS. Rather, this
attack is coming from the other side of the globe, the West. From Supreme Court
decisions to the Liberal professors at institutions of higher learning, to the
secular media in charge of news and entertainment, the Cross has been made an
object of hate and ridicule.
Twice during U.S. President Obama's tenure, he
gave a speech at a certain Catholic University and twice a Cross and other
religious symbols in the hall were covered up for the occasion, ostensibly for
the sake of "consistency"
(whatever that means).
When I was a kid, the regular vampire horror
movies followed a certain trope: vampires cannot handle the sight of a cross,
even those on gravestones! At the sight of a crucifix, they'd begin to shriek,
scratch and choke.
This is the picture I see anytime the World
reacts aggressively against the any sight of the Cross.
This anger and aversion to the Cross by both
ultra-right Islamic terrorists and ultra-left liberal/secuscholars shows that
the god of this World's system, Satan,
is scared of undue exposure of people to the Cross.
Human experience has shown us that exposure to
the Cross will save the most hopelessly lost, transform the most vilest sinner
and convict the most hardened critic. So ultimately, Satan is the one that's
afraid, nay, terrified at sight of the Cross. Because in it is the solution to
all of humanity's problems.
Therefore, this season, more than ever, let's
make sure the Cross gets the fullest exposure to the World, they may be blinded
but that's the only way they can be free.
AMEN.
More Blessings await you today; you’ll not
miss them in Jesus’ Name.
