Today many can’t imagine that God’s Son would
Die on a cross as a common criminal and that
The action on the cross would be the plan for redemption
But God is a Great God; His thoughts are not like ours
He loves man and He has revealed Himself in love

Pressure should not allow us to water down the Gospel
Our treasure is found in a man that hung on a tree
In the time of Jesus the Gentiles viewed
Crucified men with disdain and contempt
In their minds it was impossible that a man
On a cross could be the Saviour of the world
It therefore was offensive and so the
Crucifixion has become a stumbling block to many
It was a stumbling block to the Jews in the time of Jesus

Paul did not water down the Gospel
He preached the Crucified Messiah and so should we
The world does not want to hear this Crucified Gospel
It wants to hear an attractive gospel
The Gospel is grounded in the Cross so
We should stick to the Glory of the Cross

Pressure should not allow us to water down the Gospel
Our treasure is found in a man that hung on a tree
He brought the Kingdom f God and He gave us access to
His Kingdom after He died on the Cross of Calvary

Bless His Holy Name
