The Cross of Christ means so many things to so many people.
For many, it is nothing more than a piece of jewelry which they use to accessorise their clothing.
For some the Cross is designed for worship; they kneel before the cross and pray to it.
For others, the Cross is an object that contains supernatural power to ward off demonic spirits and the presence of evil.
But what does the Cross mean to you?
Paul gives us some insight in the first chapter of his first letter to the church at Corinth.
In it, he declares that the Cross is both the POWER and WISDOM of God.
It is the power of God because through the Cross, God forever destroyed the devil and his cohorts and broke the power and dominion of sin.
Because of the Cross - still today - the devil is a defeated foe!
It is the wisdom of God because in the Cross, God used a means that neither man nor Satan could have ever foreseen to accomplish redemption for humankind.
- John Torrens
