The Meaning of the Cross: Pinnacle of Self-Disclosure
Sermon Scripture: Colossians 1:15-20 (NIV)
One of the most important questions for humanity to consider is “What is God like?”
Throughout history, humanity has believed in a pantheon of gods and goddesses and they had a particular way of relating to each of these gods. An altar was set up on a high place, and sacrifices were made to that god. The trouble with this system was that you never knew where you stood with the gods.
While ugly on the surface, the cross is the clearest revelation of God’s character. The God revealed in Christ does not bear a weapon in his hands, but nails. He is not surrounded by an entourage of minions, but between thieves. God has reconciled the world himself. You don’t have to question where you stand with God, for love has been poured out and put on display.
