CHRIST CRUCIFIED - OUR ONLY MESSAGE

 

Recently, during a conversation with some young people, I was asked this question - "Do you suggest that God's servants are to preach Christ crucified to the exclusion of everything else?" My response was, "Certainly not. We are to preach Christ crucified to the inclusion of everything else." You see, to preach Christ crucified is to preach the whole counsel of God. Christ crucified is the fulfillment of all the types and prophecies of the Old Testament, the foundation of every doctrine of the Bible, and the basis of every precept in the Scriptures. We cannot divorce Christ and him crucified from any prophecy, doctrine, or precept of the Word of God. Everything in the Bible must be understood in the light of the gospel of Christ and him crucified.
