The first thing the Cross does is cross out the world's word by a Wholly-Other Word, a Word that the world does not want to hear at any price. For the world wants to live and rise again before it dies, while the love of Christ wants to die in order to rise again in the form of God on the other side of death, indeed, IN death. Anonymous
About This Quote

The first thing the Cross does is cross out the world's word by a Wholly-Other Word, a Word that the world does not want to hear at any price. For the world wants to live and rise again before it dies, while the love of Christ wants to die in order to rise again in the form of God on the other side of death, indeed, IN death. The Cross is a message that is heard only by those who are open to listen. It’s about more than just physical death, which most people can relate to. It’s about spiritual death, where people are more interested in their own needs than what’s good for others.
