Yet to some people, the cross means very little. A young boy once accompanied his mother to worship. During the sermon, the boy was listening very attentively to the lesson that day. The preacher's sermon on the crucifixion of Christ was so moving that the boy began to weep. Soon he began to cry aloud.
Some people think that cross was some boring historical account that has no meaning in life.
We need to embrace the value of the cross. For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. The cross has a compelling power. It compels us to live not for ourselves but for the Lord. We are not on this earth to do as we please.
