The Cross is the Power of God

I remember early one Sunday morning about 5 AM my wife and I heard our daughter Stacey in her bedroom crying. We rushed to her room where she was sitting up in her bed with a book of Bible stories that her grandmother had given her as a gift. When she saw us, she began to tell us why she was crying. She raised up the book and pointed to a picture of Jesus hanging on the cross between two thieves. With her little index finger on the middle cross where Jesus was hanging on His cross, she looked at us through her tears and said, "Jesus died for me on that cross." That morning we led her in prayer to accept Jesus as her Lord. That was in 1975 and she was five years old. She still loves the man that was on that cross and is now raising her three children in the ways of God.
Many preachers are trying to be successful preachers. They have changed everything they considered traditional to attract people to their churches. Thousands have found themselves in these places but not much change has come in their lives. There is only one message to change people and that is the message of the Cross.
Songs have been composed with no mention of the Cross or the Blood of Christ.
Sermons are preached without the mention of the Name of Jesus and what He really did for us. Let's come back to the reality and purpose of what we are called unto, and that is pointing souls to Calvary. Let's point to the middleman on the cross and say. "He died for me so I could live."
