 The Cross of the New Testament -Tozer

The Cross of the New Testament

Remembering my own deep imperfections I would think and speak with charity of all who take upon them the worthy Name by which we Christians are called. But if I see aright, the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament. It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity whose hands are indeed the hands of Abel, but whose voice is the voice of Cain. The old cross slew men; the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it. The old cross brought tears and blood; the new cross brings laughter. The flesh, smiling and confident, preaches and sings about the cross; before that cross it bows and toward that cross it points with carefully staged histrionics—but upon that cross it will not die, and the reproach of that cross it stubbornly refuses to bear.


Prayer
Would that our flesh, our lives, be crucified on that cross, Lord. Let us bear the reproach of the cross of Christ.

Giancarlo,

Thanks so much, I read this to my pastor and he loved it.

It reminds me of the quote in the revival hymn; the world is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity,
it is waiting for a demonstration of Christianity!

In Christ,

Murray
