The C R O S S OF JESUS CHRIST.
“For
it is written, ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to
nothing the understanding of the prudent.’ For the preaching of the cross is to
them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the [POWER OF
GOD]” (1 Corinthians 1:18-19).
“For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be
saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God” (John 3:16-18).
“Then
said Jesus unto his disciples, ‘If any man will come after me, let him deny
himself, and [TAKE UP HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOW ME]’” (Matthew 16:24).
“[AND
HE THAT TAKETH NOT HIS CROSS, AND FOLLOWETH AFTER ME, IS NOT WORTHY OF ME]”
(Matthew 10:38).
