What is The Cross for You?
Well I saw this from Jessica's blog. It is not the first time for me to see the cross is mocked. Not the first time also for me to read the prophecy about the end of days when people will think cross is foolish; to believe in the cross is another kind of stupidity in this world, that of course for the one who is called the cross is the strength, the joy, the sign of God's love.
But I just wonder that this day people who are categorized as the mocker are not utterly the one who maybe wears a demonic clothe, or use a gothic makeup to express a hellish environment. They are actually just an ordinary people around us that probably you wont notice that deep inside their heart they are actually mocking the cross while their mouth does not.
1. Ignorant people
"No, I dont want to talk anything about religion" "What is religion to me?" "Why God so bother to punish human for their mistake?"
Yes they actually THINK that they are mocking the evangelist, they dont think they insult Christ since they do not know him and do NOT want to know him and THINK they dont need him.
But Paul stated it very clearly that this age is considered as the age of God's mercy where God keeps his anger and wrath later for the last day (even though we still can observe some, but I believe we cannot imagine what will happen at that omega time when the wrath of God is revealed).
Hard to evangelise people, but it is harder to evangelise ignorant people ...
2. Religious people
Other religion peobably the worst of all. Just imagine, if you have a husband or wife that one day you know he/she has another affair, then what will make you even angrier, this happening or he/she simply ignore you?
Well, atheist I can say they are simply "ignore" God, but other religion mean you have another affair... Even by natural logic we can deduce that the "ignore" better than "ignore+find the other"
"So how they can mock the cross since they even ignore it and dont want to think about it?"
Yes the answer is that even the previous question is already included as an insult since the cross should be proclaimed and at the end of the days no mouth will not confess that Jesus is the Son of God
