IT'S BOTH

"Mommy, look! It's a cross!" Aila said as we drove down the road.

But Trevor just rolled his eyes and said, "That is not a cross, Aila. It's a power line."

But when we consider the cross of Christ, we realize it was much more than a couple of wooden beams fashioned together to form a place on which punishment occurred...

The cross of Christ is a power line.

Through His death and resurrection on the cross we have divine power that demolishes strongholds, power to stand up under temptation, power to live and love beyond ourselves. And mostly, in the cross is power to save us from sin and death.

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. But to us who are being saved, the message of the cross is the power of God."

1 Corinthians 1:18
