The Cross Brings Persecution • Associating with Gentiles was a big issue for Christian Jews, causing embarrassment • Paul was proud of his suffering for the cross. • We need to be careful about avoiding the embarrassment of the Cross
The Cross Brings Separation • Paul is dead to the world, and no longer lives for its false hopes and dreams • Are we too earthly minded to be of heavenly use? • We need to put to death the worldliness we see in ourselves
The Cross Brings a New Creation • It is not about following the Law, nor disregarding it. • It’s not about what you do whatsoever! • If you want God to work in you, call out for mercy and look to the cross!
