🌟The Cross of Jesus Christ Is the saving message of God’s plan to save the perishing mankind!

Have you ever wondered why the preaching of the cross of Jesus appears like a stumbling block for the sinners, and at times the message of the cross of Jesus is the very piercing truth to the marrow, and even at times the message of the cross of Jesus Christ is very accurate in healing every sickness and every wound and at times the message of the cross is a bloody message that brings deliverance!

..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.

The “perishing” people regard the message of the cross as foolishness when

they mock the message of the cross of Jesus,

when they scorn the message of the cross,

whenever they dislike it being preached, or

when they undervalue the power of message of the cross, and

some even revile the message of the cross in their community,

rejecting and outwardly neglecting the message of the cross of Jesus.

The perishing people do so about the message of the cross because

1.they literally did not understand the message that King Pilate wrote ON the cross..Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

One can’t help but wonder what #revelation Pilate had about Jesus to have come up with that title and having it written on the cross of Jesus.

(The perishing people literally never remained behind long enough at the cross to see and understand the full manifestation of the cross of Jesus.)

2. they never understood what Jesus meant when He proclaimed “it is finished”

…when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. (John 19:30)

3. they literally never understood that the message of the cross of Jesus is the message of “crossing 🚸” over from the sinful nature of the flesh to be being filled with The Holy Ghost that Jesus gave at the cross thus walking in the Spirit.

Remember story of Jacob when he was was fleeing from his father in law Laban (Syrian)..Jacob stole away, unknown to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee. So he fled with all that he had. He arose and *crossed the river* and headed toward the mountains of Gilead.

Picture Jacob crossing the river with all his livestock and all his possession..it was definitely not an easy task to cross the river and probably Jacob had no option mostly because Jacob’s time to return to “his father’s land” had arrived.

He had to cross from the land of his father in law Laban the Syrian back to his father’s land according to God’s plan.

The Cross is God’s plan to save mankind!
