Spirituality of the Cross
Bearing the Cross
Bearing the Cross
- Being helpless and utterly dependent, is precisely our spiritual condition.
- We are utterly helpless to save ourselves.
- We are to rest in utter dependence on Jesus Christ. "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)
- The attitude of complete, self-sufficiency cannot only undermine faith, it can wreck God's design for human relationships.
- Both the Law and the cross drive us to an ever-deeper and more-intimate dependence on Jesus Christ, who meets our sin and our sufferings in His cross.
