For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,
but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1st. Cor. 1:18
At this time of year, our focus is turned to the events surrounding the cross. The cross means a lot of things to people. For some it is jewelry. For some it is a ‘good luck charm. I remember hearing a story after Hurricane Hugo ripped through Charleston S.C., in 1989, of a construction crew finding hidden treasure. While cleaning up the rubble in a decimated church, they saw the cross still standing. Unable to move it, even with a crane, they discovered that it was filled with pure gold inside of the cross. Evidently, during the American Civil War people melted down their gold and hid it there to keep it from invading troops.
The cross of Christ is a place of true spiritual treasure for those who believe in Him. But as the Apostle Paul points out, ‘It is foolishness’ to those headed for destruction.
