THE GLORY OF THE CROSS
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ-“– Galatians 6:14 

Paul had what we all need–a burning desire to proclaim the glories of the cross to a lost and dying world. In spite of all the difficulties he faced, he never allowed anything to dim his vision of the cross. Neither should we. Keeping our focus on the cross will feed our faith, fuel our faithfulness, and fix our faults.

 

Turn your eyes away from the vanities of the world and set your sights on the cross. See the two arms stretched out in both directions, east and west, and think about  the Lord’s willingness to embrace all the peoples of the earth. See the foot of the cross and imagine it descending down to the gutters, making a way for the lowest of men. Behold the cross ascending upward, beyond the sun, moon, and stars, until it reaches the very throne of God and sheds its light throughtout the heavenly city. Then, there you will hear the heavenly choir singing in perfect unison honor, glory, and power to the One who is Worthy, the One who gave Himself as a sacrifice on the old rugged cross. 

If the cross is our theme for eternity it certainly should be at the center of our thoughts ever wakening moment here below. God help us to not be distracted by the things of this world. All else pales in comparison to Christ and the cross! Set your affection on things above rather than things below .Let us glory only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have nothing else of which to boast. HDS
