To Show The Power Of The Cross

There are times that I am scrolling through Facebook and am just amazed at the things people post. This year seems to be bringing out the worst and it's very sad to me. We aren't showing the light and love of Christ in some of the words we choose to post or some of the topics we choose to rant about. We are not God and we have no right to force our opinions onto others with words that are hateful. From the very beginning in the garden~God Himself, our creator and the Lover of our filthy souls, gave us a choice. Even then when we chose wrong, He loved us still. His amazing love and grace and mercy were so great that He sent His only Son to die for us. And yet, I continually read words that are downright hateful and bitter. Our choir will be singing The Power of the Cross tomorrow and oh does it speak to my heart. Sometimes we can look at others and condemn them and neglect to look inside at our own hearts. One of the first things listed in God's Word that displeases Him is a proud look. Christ didn't just die a horrible death for the wickedest person you can think of. He died for us all. For every bitter thought that we have ever had. We are no better than anyone else. In the months to come, especially Tuesday morning when everyone is tempted to let the world know how right they believe they are and how wrong everyone else is, think before you post. Are we showing the love of our Savior, the One Who gave His life for our proud hearts and bitter thoughts? Will someone read what we write and think~"I can see the Love of Christ in them"? It shouldn't be our goal to make people mad. It should be our goal to show them The Power of the Cross.
