He nailed it 
Most people really don’t understand the importance and significance of the cross 
If you ask average non believer what the cross is all about they might say cross is represents a death of good moral teacher 
If you ask Christian’s they also have limited knowledge and limited understanding of the cross 
Ask average Christian what happened on that day?
They simply answer Jesus died there for my sins. That’s absolutely true 
That is the milk of the cross. 
Much more meat to eat

Cross is Center of the New Testament 
Cross is exclusive mark of Christian faith

The sufficiency of the flesh 11-12
        A. Two polluted symbols 
            11- circumcision  
          Every Jewish boy has to be circumcised on the 8 day. 
Two thoughts 
Circumcision alone will save (Baptism will save ) Lord supper also will save ) 
If you participate Outward external religious activities your sins will be forgiven
Circumcision is out word symbol of inward belief

Jews think they are superior then the uncircumcised 

Salvation by works
Self righteous- 
Verse 12 circumcision always a symbol 
Circumcision of the heart 

Cutting away the body of sin on the crow of Jesus Christ 

He nailed the sin, cut off 
Isiah 53 says the lord cut off 

Rom 6:6 real circumcision is God cut off his son
Not self sufficiency but God dependency 

12 - symbol of baptism - buried in baptism 

3 moments in the baptism 
Person standing there - 
Water crosses the body like the cross of Jesus Christ 
    He says - Jesus died in the cross for me
    He says - Jesus died old life nailed 
Burried - 
Resuscitation 
People are looking for moral stands 
People are looking for good works 

Way of salvation is through Jesus 
We are not saved by flesh 
We are saved through crucified flesh
