The crucifixion of Christ is the preeminent event of human history. The cross is our message, our hope, our confidence, our badge of honor, and the emblem of Christ’s suffering and shame. The world despises the cross, but we rally to it. For this reason, let us love the cross, carry the cross, preach the cross, and never be ashamed of the cross. The world may not want to hear it, but we must preach it again and again, urging everyone to run to the cross of Christ.
