![]() There lies the key to understanding what Cross-bearing is all about. What is a cross if it is not something “bothersome” which is “touching” my shoulders? Hey, I cannot say that I am bearing the Cross, if it is say a mile away!!! Remember for a Cross (synonymous with pain) to be carried, it necessarily has to be in touch with your being. While there are several sublime qualities in our Saviour realization of which would evoke spontaneous worship, in this message I would like to focus on His singular genius in creating and maintaining oh-so-delicate balance in the natural as well as the spiritual realm.Ĭross bearing is an indispensable part of a Christian’s life ( Luke 9:23), so that work of molding a person into a Christ-like image which begins at the point of re-generation is completed in all respects (2 Cor 3:18) by the time of Rapture or one’s departure from the Earthly scene. In this context, let it be said that the driving force for winning a soul to the Lord ought not to be only the need of saving it from scorching hell-fire but also to acquaint it, with the indescribable heavenly joys’ one is enjoying of walking aright with the Creator.Īh focusing on one of his many sublime attributes…all along His life on Earth, was not our Saviour the very definition of balance? Be it in caring for both the spiritual and the physical needs of His enraptured audience ( Matt 15:32-39) or be it in appreciating or rebuking Peter all in a matter of a few minutes ( Matt 16:13-23) when it was needed or be it balancing the Law and Grace when it came to dealing with the adulterous woman ( John 8:1-11) or for that matter in giving a balanced riposte on taxes to His critics’ ( Mark 12:13-17), His demeanor oozed transcendent balance. Worship in its pristine form is nothing but an unalloyed form of an ethereal romance between the Creator and His favorite creation ( Isaiah 62:5, Zephaniah 3:17). More than worshipping God for the blessings, which He pours into our lives, we need to learn to worship Him, just for what He is! Worshipping Him, awed by His unique attributes is noblest form of worship, for it emanates right from the depths of the heart with no strings attached. ![]()
