To death and beyond
The apostle Paul wrote,
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
1Corinthians 1:18.
To those outside the Christian faith the message of Christ Jesus is foolishness. After all why would an almighty God enter the world He created only to be put to death on a cross?
My immediate answer to such a question comes from the words of Jesus who said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16,17.
That being said, God does not do things the way man would necessarily expect Him to do things.
God wants people to have faith in Him. Which for many people is a very hard thing. Most people do not believe what they cannot see, feel or hear.
But God knows that true men and women of faith will follow what they believe to the point of death and beyond. Which is what he wants.
Are you one of those people?
Please think about it.
