Easter Message: The Power of the Cross
Introduction: “The cross stands as the focal point of the Christian faith. Without the cross the Bible is an enigma and the Gospel of salvation is an empty hope”.
“Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.”
Christianity is a Jesus Christ religion. It is a cross religion. Without the cross of Christ, there is no Christianity. And, without a biblical understanding of the cross, there is no authentic Christianity. Salvation for fallen, lost, spiritually dead humanity comes only through a crucified and risen Savior. It is the one way and the only way to God. “God proves His love on the cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, “I love you.” Paul in 1:18-25 would add, “God also proved His power on the cross. It and it alone can give us spiritual and eternal life.
Today we send you all our Easter Greetings and make mention also to you all in our prayers. May God of the most high be with you all and binded us all under his cross of salvation.
