“ The cross is becoming a major focus for us again. We are in danger, I believe, of focussing on some of the “bless me please” type worship and forgetting that Jesus paid a horrendous price to give us the grace and love and blessing we receive daily. We forget to meditate on the magnitude of what happened at Calvary. How all of eternity is sitting in perfect balance on the top of a rough, wooden cross on a dusty hill outside the city of Jerusalem. We do well, I believe, to cry and sing out the power and reality of the cross. Lots of life in the West is about being blessed financially, health-wise, family-wise and relationally. Our mainstream self-help type books and magazines pursue those things with no regard to Christianity. What we have is the cross of Christ! Something worth living and dying for. One who changed the history of the world forever. Even to the extent that the end and fulfilment of all things rest and turn upon that event. Now that’s worth singing about!
