“For I determined not to know anything
among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”
1 CORINTHIANS 2:2
among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”
1 CORINTHIANS 2:2
Religion seeks to reform a man; the Cross seeks to crucify him. Religion may fail to bring about the desired result, but the Cross never fails to achieve its end.
Mankind will pursue morality, virtue, spirituality, even perform religious works and good deeds, in order to avoid death on a Cross. But there are no wounds, no scars, no evidence of having ever died and been made alive unto God. Either a man has never died, or he has died and been raised again. You cannot fake a resurrection.
