The Agony of God

"It pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe... we preach Christ Crucified (1 Cor. 21, 23)." The gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who believe it is the power of God. This is the gospel, God laid down His life so that we may have eternal life. When one considers the circumstances and the things to which we spend time worrying about, when compared to the eternal blessing showered on us through the blood of Christ, these things seem rather small. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible writes and you shall be saved and thy house. One could go from the Indian Reservations to the nation of India, to Afganistan to Haiti and one could not find among these peoples a greater message of hope than in found in the gospel.
