Thank God for the simplicity of the cross! It exceeds the wisdom of men by so much,that it is impossible to comprehend,without the New Birth.For it is the foolishness of preaching (the Cross),that confounds the wisdom of unregenerate man.When the scripture says "the preaching of the Cross" in I Cor.1:18,it is obvious,when considering the entire context,that it is not referring to the wooden implement used to crucify Christ on,but the import of what took place there.
All the sin of man was answered at Calvary,past,present and future.We can now rest in Christ,with the full assurance,that what He did there for us,satisfied the righteous demands of a Holy God."Come unto Me,all you,who labor and are heavy laden (all who are laboring under a heavy load of laws and rules,in an attempt to try and please God on your own),and I will give you rest (freedom from trying by works,to no profit,to please God),take My yoke upon you (complete and total faith in Jesus Christ),and learn of Me (who He is and what He did for us at the cross),for I am meek and lowly in heart (approach Christ,not with arrogance as if He owes you something,but with humility knowing you owe Him all),and you shall find rest for your souls ( you will finally know what it is to rest in Him from all works,for He it is,that did it all).For My yoke is easy,and My burden is light (It's so easy to receive the salvation that Christ offers through what He did,not what we do). Matthew 11:28-30.
Praise God for the simplicity of the cross! Where dying to self,and living for Christ is made easy.Praise and glory to the risen Christ,Hallelujah! Won't you stop laboring so hard for that which is a free gift,you'll never be able to earn what someone else gives you as a gift anyway!
Receive Him today,simply by repenting (turning from sin),and inviting Him into your heart,and He will give you eternal life,you won't have to try and earn it anymore! ...........................Amen,........brother John.
