Galatians 6:14(ESV)
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which[a] the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
When Paul talks about the glory of the cross, it is to let the world know about the suffering of Christ, his brutality, the pains of suffering, and what its end product did to the profiting of the church. The question to answer is: What glory is there in the cross? It was an instrument of torture and shame that did man well and reunited us back to Him.
Why did Paul glory in it? He gloried it because the most selfless act ever performed by Christ took place upon it. He saw-emanating from that rough, unartistic beam upon which the Son of God had been crucified. The radiant hope of the world, the end of the believer’s bondage to sin, and the love of God shed abroad in the hearts of men.
Beloved, Christ dying on the cross did more to restore man’s lost harmony with God, his fellowman, and himself than the combined genius and power of earth’s mighty. With my finite limitations, I cannot fully comprehend the mystery of Christ’s atonement. I only know that all who come to the cross in simple, trusting faith lose all their guilty stains and find peace with God. Rejoice in the Lord and glory in His Name now and then. Be blessed!!!
Prayer:
Thank you heavenly Father for dying on the cross to save me. Your death and your resurrection are more valuable than the gold of this world. Help me to be faithful in my calling and grant me the grace to faithfully serve you in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
