The Cross of Christ exerts an universal attraction to all people, all nationalities, both Jew and Gentile. For it is the only way we can be reconciled with God. (Colossians 1:20) If there had been another way to get to Him…the Cross of Christ would have been unnecessary, absurd…with absolutely no need for it to have ever happened. But that’s not true. But mainstream religion today tends to downplay the seriousness of the Cross of Christ…desiring rather to be non-confrontational…and wanting the person to have a pleasant experience at Church rather than a pointed appeal for repentance. However, our calling as Believers is to expose sin for what it is…not sugar-coating the cost of Jesus’ blood on that Cross for all mankind. For as this verse reminds us, we are called to lift up Jesus, not pleasant platitudes…for no one will ever be saved by warm fuzzy cliches.
