God Forbid that We Should Boast

"As for me,God forbid that I should boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world died long ago, and the world's interest in me is also long dead." Galatians 6:14

Has our interest in the World died because of the Cross?

Have we lost the depth and meaning of the Cross today?

What does the Cross mean to you? When you think about the Cross, do you think about the extension of Christ hanging on it, bearing the weight of the world's sin?

Do you boast about the Cross or do you boast about your worldly accomplishments? God forbid that we should boast about anything except the Cross of Jesus Christ.

Could this passage describe us as a Body, oh that it would, for then Christ would be displayed more and more and we would be displayed less and less.

Jesus bring us back to the true meaning of the Cross. We want our interest in this world to die because of  what You did on the Cross. Keep us from boasting about anything except the cross. Amen
