THE CROSS

I heard a man say once, "people want to understand the 2nd coming, they want to understand what the book of Revelations is all about...and on the day that Christ takes the Church, they will fully understand all of it, but we will spend eternity and never understand the Cross.."

This spoken word grabbed me like no other phrase has grabbed me in a very, very long time. "Never understand the cross"...what could that mean!?! I sat with this for hours to get a grip on what this pastor was saying, I sat with this for days and could only fully comprehend the cross for moment before it became too much to bare...and when i say fully comprehend, i mean on earthly terms, because i do not believe we can fully understand the cross on heavenly terms..

If I asked you the question, what is the meaning of the cross, what would your answer be?

Or how about this, "what happened on the cross?"

Is it possible for us to understand the almighty, soveriegn wrath of God? No, it is not. If you say that it is then i challenge you to give that answer...i don't believe you can. I know you can find scripture where it is spoken, even i can do that. I can quote scripture, find passages, repeat the word of Jesus...but that is far from understanding.

I'm tempted to write more, but God is leading to end this here....so ask yourself, "what happened on the cross?" Don't give yourself a generic answer..search for the deepest truth you can, but remember there is more...
