1 Samuel 16:1-23; Isaiah 55:1-56:8; Romans 2:1-29
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Cor. 1:18
A young man walked down a busy street wearing a sandwich board sign which read on the front, “I’m a fool for Christ.” As you turned to see the back, it read, “Whose fool are you?” The cross of Christ is still the object of the world’s hatred and rejection. Is it because while the cross reveals God’s love and grace, at the same time, it speaks of man’s sinfulness and God’s holiness? Although those facts may make us uncomfortable they are true. And it is
also true that if you reject Christ and treat the cross as foolish, you are rejecting your only hope for eternity. I ask the question, whose fool are you? Trust the Saviour today. —Jim Comte
At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away. —Isaac Watts
