Is the Cross Foolishness? | Pastor Calvary Callender

The cross is not foolishness, it is our salvation. There may be a lot of things that we don’t understand, but remember, God accomplished that which was impossible when He went to the cross and died for our sins and was raised to life again. He did for us what we couldn’t do for ourselves. If we are to sum up the message of Easter, it is so much more than the fact that Jesus died on the cross for our sins. He did indeed die for our sins, but that is not all. He was raised again! Paul says, “And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins” (I Corinthians 15.17). His death and resurrection started something new, that makes no sense until you follow Him. You see, when we say yes to Jesus, we enter into a new way of life. One in which he is the source, the strength, the example, and the assurance.
