THE CROSS OF THE GRACE
1). There are locally carved wooden and metal crosses on many necks they wear in the concept of religion.
2). All of this is done by natural efforts of men for Christ’s sake, or because of Christ, but not by the Spirit of Christ.
3). They feel that is to show how loyal they are to God: and some bow to it and some confidently pray with it.
4). They are so delighted with everything that is sketched as cross.
5). They are so quickly drawn to the concept of loyalty towards God in their hearts, as soon as cross is mentioned.

8). It is so important to note that Jesus Christ was not the only Person who was crucified on crosses in Israel.
9). As a matter of fact, the cross upon which Christ was crucified was never meant for Him, but for one Barbaras the chief of the criminals.
10). He was an accomplice alongside with those transgressors who were crucified side by side with Christ.
11). He was to be crucified alongside with them, but the Jews preferred Pilate to crucify Christ instead of Barbaras.
12). Therefore, the Roman soldiers arrested one Simon of North Africa and compelled him to carry the cross of Barbaras to Golgotha where they crucified Jesus.
13). Jesus Christ is the Grace of God that brought salvation to men; hence the gross criminal of that age received a such great favour from Grace of God.
14). Instead of dying an excruciating death, he was given a chance by Jesus taking over his cross, and dying for him.
15). Everyone is made to be a beneficiary of the commodities in the salvation brought from heaven by the Grace of God.

17). Although Christ said: “Whosoever does not bear, that is, carry his cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple” Luke 14:27, but what cross is He talking about?
18). The cross He means is defined in Hebrews 13:12-13.
19). Vs.12. Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate (pleasure, luxury house, personal comfort, interest).
20). Vs.13. Let us therefore go forth to Him, outside the camp (luxury house, personal comfort, private interest traditional pleasure) bearing or carrying His reproach.
21). The reproach here, simply means, persecutions and relegations against the true faith of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
22). This is how we should bear or carry our cross and come after Him.
23). He is not saying that we should go to the carpenters, or iron benders to carve crosses for us to carry about, or wear on our necks.
24). May the good Lord help us come out of our persistent ignorance.
25). We must not so quickly forget that the activities of crucifixions had been an ongoing tradition in Israel ever before Christ came into the world.
26). Even the notable criminal known as Barbaras, was to be crucified same day with his accomplices, before his cross was exchanged for the urgent crucifixion of Christ: as cited above.
27). Christ was neither buried nor resurrected with any cross.
28). Although Christian believers read and hear the gospel of the Kingdom, yet they remain so stiff and mindless to be freed.
29). The crosses themselves were carved under the Jewish law to crucify the lawbreakers of various crimes.
30). Christ Jesus was not of any of the merits that warrants to be crucified on the perjured criminal cross.
31). As a matter fact, all crimes began within Satan the devilish angel who originated every criminal activity in his heart, and passed it on to the first man Adam.
32). Through the loin and gene of that earliest human progenitor, criminal activities rapidly spread throughout the human race.
33). Therefore it is written that as a result of spiritual damage caused by the first Adam, “all have sinned and that has cut short the glory of God on earth” Romans 3:23.
34). It is pertinent to remark that each time anything about the cross is religiously mentioned, it should be related to sin and criminal activities.
35). Christ is not involved to be associated with the common cross as thought within the human religious tradition and mentality.
CHRIST CONNECTION TO THE CROSS
36). Remember and understand that the very purpose why Christ manifested from the invisible into the world, was to seek and to save mankind that was lost, according to Luke 19:10;2Cor4:4.
37). He came and went all out for man, no matter wherever and whatever level of evil he is found to associate with.
38). He went to the usual cross where men had always been crucified for the sake of crimes.
39). Unlike men in see sin, Christ sees every sin as a spiritual crime which originated from that wicked one called Satan the devil.
40). Therefore every single sin is a crime before God Almighty, because it all originated from the Devil, the original criminal.
