April 1st – The Message of The Cross
April 1: The Message of the Cross
Scripture:
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
—1 Corinthians 1:18 (NKJV)
Reflection:
To many, the cross seems like a symbol of defeat—a man dying in weakness. But for the believer, the cross is the gateway to life, the turning point of history, and the greatest expression of love. It is through the cross that God accomplished salvation for mankind, revealing His power in what the world calls foolish.
Prayer:
Father, help me never to take the cross for granted. Remind me daily that through Christ’s sacrifice, I have life. May I always see Your power and love displayed through the cross. Amen.
