The CROSS: An Act Of GREATNESS - inspirational gospel quotes
🏆 The CROSS: An Act Of GREATNESS! 🏆
📖1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
4⃣ Things To Note 📝
1* Baptism is NOT a calling. No one is called by the Godhead to baptize or preach it.
2* We are ultimately sent and assigned to preach the Gospel of Christ
3* Motivational speaking (wisdom of words) waters down the power that the Gospel is supposed to communicate.
4* If through the "wisdom of words" (motivational speaking, philosophical oratory) the Cross of Christ is made of none effect that means there's an EFFECTUAL WORKING OF GOD'S POWER that is resident in the Cross of Christ; and that power is released as the Gospel is preached.
I submit to you, therefore, without apology, that if any man (regardless of his status or title or size of his church building) knows this truth and STILL doesn't preach the Gospel of Christ to his congregation is an ENEMY OF THE CROSS.
📖Philippians 3:18 "(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS of Christ..."
The Cross seems to sum up ALL THE NEGATIVE FORCES that depress the human race.
Everything that ever caused man pain and drove mankind insane was summed up and dealt with at the Cross.
📖Colossians 2:14
AMP: Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.
📜15: [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].
How can any man claim to be sent from God yet doesn't OR won't preach or propagate this liberating truth? Trust me.... He MUST BE a DEVIL 😈
Please, come to think of it, IF YOU WERE PRESENT at the time of this incident (witnessing the crucifixion of Jesus) you would probably never consider it an act of God's love or greatness.
📖Isaiah 53:3 He is DESPISED and REJECTED of men; a MAN OF SORROWS, and ACQUAINTED WITH GRIEF: and WE HID as it were our faces from him; HE WAS DESPISED, and WE ESTEEMED HIM NOT.
But make no mistake about it; THIS 👆 was no defeat; it was OMNIPOTENCE IN ACTION! 💥
📖Acts 2:23 Him (Jesus), being DELIVERED BY THE DETERMINATE COUNSEL and FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain
The Father was never out of control when Jesus was crucified nether did He loose His dominance as Jesus suffered terribly on the Cross.
Everything on the Cross, every act on the Cross, every tear on the Cross, every drop of blood and sweat on the Cross was OMNIPOTENCE IN ACTION. 💥
It was omnipotence turning every negative into a positive... 👇
📝 A SUPREME ACT with a SUPREME OUTCOME. ✏
Let's enumerate some of JESUS' acts and their outcomes:
📌Jesus wept for the weeping
📌Jesus became helpless for the helpless
📌Jesus became unwanted for the unwanted
📌Jesus became unclean for the unclean
📌Jesus faced death for the dying
📌Jesus faced horror for the terrified
📌Jesus suffered injustice for all who were oppressed
📌Jesus surrendered his reputation for all the nonentities in the world.
📖1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
This is why I came to a conclusion that:
📝 Beyond all miracles, Christ’s death on the Cross at Calvary was an act of such greatness that THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET OVER IT. 📝
Glory to God, our Abba Father! 💃 Forever and Ever!
Men and brethren, if we are to boast, let's boast in the fact that SOMEONE died for us and rose again from the dead for our justification....👉 JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH... The SON Of The Living GOD!
📖Galatians 6:14
AMP: But far be it from me to glory [in anything or anyone] except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) through Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world!
Have a blessed day.
You are blessed by all means IN JESUS NAME! 💘
