Power of Cross

1 Corinthians 1:18

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

Power of Cross!! What an expression.  Whole of Christianity revolves around incident of Jesus getting crucified on the cross and being resurrected on the third day.  Gospel without Jesus being sacrificed on the cross for our sins is nothing. The whole teaching of Bible is about “God giving his only son for our sins so that we could be saved and have eternal life as God thought for us (John 3:16) while creating Adam and Eve. It was only because of Adam and Eve that sin entered our blood (Romans 5:12). They were got deceived by satan (Genesis 3:1-7) and ultimately paid the price for it  by getting banished from “Garden of Eden” (Genesis 3:23).

Only through Jesus sacrificial death for humankind could we be redeemed of our sins (Ephesians 1:7) and that is what good news of gospel is all about. The power of God can be felt and experienced when we accept Jesus as our savior and understand in totality as to why he died for us. People engulfed with demonic powers still don’t consider and understand the power of the cross and they mock the people who believe in it.

Eventually, people who have faith in Jesus and power of cross are being assured of things they hope for (Hebrews 11:1) and  are being shown the way to heaven where our “Heavenly Father” awaits us.
