Why is there a cross?why is there so much suffering,in so many countries were the poor are trampled over? , The answer is Sin ,yes with a capital S,it is William Barclay who wrote,' As we look at the cross we are bound to say: 'That is what sin can do. Sin can take the loveliest life in all the world and smash it on a cross.'We as human beings, I feel, cannot grasp the awfulness of sin,our estimation will never see sin as God see's it. There are no words in our vocabulary to fully describe the terribleness of sin,only God knows its awfulness.When we refuse to acknowledge the sin our lives,we are spelling out our own doom, it takes a supernatural intervention by God to make us aware of our sin ( John 16 v 8 ).There is no limit to mankind's blindness as regards the full extent of sins seriousness ,and the gravity of it. There is no such a thing as a white lie,ignorance is no excuse,(Romans 1 v 20.),and there is no use shifting the blame unto others, ( Genesis 3 v 12 -13 ),it does not wash,with a holy God..Going back to the cross which shows the awful sinfulness of mankind,yet were God in his sovereignty and love used it ,to deal with sin and its penalty. The one who was sinless Jesus would pay the price that all sinners would have to pay,that is eternal punishment in hell. Take hell serious,it is real ,again many don't take it serious,they are in for a rude awakening ,if you are not saved ,you are just a breath away, from hell,yes its as serious as that..I leave these thoughts with you ,and Gods loving response,to our wickedness,our sinfulness, Jesus,it is your choice, choose Jesus and know forgiveness and acceptance with God,a God who loves you.
