“Who’s Afraid of the Cross?”

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.
