The message of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ is simple. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believe in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.” (John 3.16) Jesus went further to say, “For God did
not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved.” (John 3.17) Then where is condemnation? We bring
it on ourselves by loving darkness and the ways of the world rather than the
ways of God. Again Jesus said, “And this is the condemnation, that the light
has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because
their deeds were evil.” (John 3.19) The way of the Cross is the way of life.
The life of the Church is the way of the Cross. We must remain focused upon and
believe in the Cross of Christ in order that our eternity will be salvation
rather than condemnation.
