When I say we need to look through the cross at ourselves and others, what exactly do I mean?
I have said this to several people and I wonder if it is a hard statement to understand because it could be pretty ambiguous.
Lets ask this satement in a question.
What did Christ see when he took to the cross?
Or Why did Christ choose the will of the Father?
Or Why did he say "father forgive them for they know not what they do"?
The main thing I mean when I say "Look at ourselves through the cross" is to see ourselves as Christ sees us. See our utter depravity. Feel it clearly. Know it truly. And recognize it rightly. My husband has often likened what Christ did as if we were going to be come a worm to save the worms. Seems rather pathetic, doesn't it? Ridiculous even! But why else would the KING OF THE UNIVERSE come to our world to become a victim of our gross natures?!
