Win with the Cross
(1 Corinthians 2:2)

The life of Christianity is in the cross of Jesus Christ because the door of salvation is opened by the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross of Jesus Christ is the power of salvation and healing as well as the door of blessings. Therefore, we should only boast of the cross of Jesus Christ as our hope as well as the way to heaven.

1. Be one in the Lord
The cross of Jesus Christ has power to unit broken and split relationships into one. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 16 says, "in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility." The cross of Jesus Christ makes the broken relationship between God and humans reconciled. Also the cross of Jesus Christ collapsed the walls between gentiles and Jews and made people be united. Therefore, only the cross of Jesus can heal all conflicts and tensions. We should put down walls under the cross including the walls of races, theories, social statuses, regions, the rich and the poor, and gender so that we can become one as the body of Jesus. And we should keep our union stronger because it is strengthened by the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, we should be ambassadors of peace to bring it to the place where conflicts and tensions exist.

2. Experience the power of God
When Jesus said it was finished, all sins, poverty, diseases, curses, diseases, death, and powers of darkness were driven out. Colossians chapter 2 verse 15 says, "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross." Therefore, we should depend on the power of the cross and go forward with faith to experience the miracle based on the five-fold gospel and the three-fold blessings in our daily life.

3. Let the cross be your only boast
Jesus made us united through the cross and saved us by the amazing power of the cross so we should let the cross of Jesus Christ be our only boast. Galatians chapter 6 verse 14 says, "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." Apostle Paul was a Roman citizen, was educated under Gamaliel, and was a Pharisee of Pharisees so he could have been proud of himself. However, he considered all things rubbish and only boasted of the cross after he had met Jesus personally. Therefore, we should nail our old self into the cross daily and only boast of the cross of Jesus following the life of Apostle Paul.
