“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18 / KJV)
Crux is Latin for “cross.” In the southern hemisphere, there is a constellation known as Crux, or Southern Cross. Its name is derived from four of its brightest stars forming the shape of a cross.
We often refer to a focal point or a central idea as “the crux of the matter.” It’s the essential component – the crucial element.
The Cross of Jesus is the “crux” of our salvation. Without it, we have no salvation. Jesus Christ, our Savior, made payment for our sin on the Cross. It is the central, critical, essential, and crucial means for our deliverance from sin.
The word “excruciating” is derived from “crux.” Jesus experienced excruciating pain on the Cross that we cannot fathom. His pain was not only physical in nature but also spiritual from the weight of all mankind’s sin. Thankfully, Christ’s sacrifice was sufficient.
Lord, may all who have not yet accepted Your gift of salvation meet You at the Cross today. In Jesus name, Amen.
