A Reflection On The Cross

When I need to remember that God pursues me

In God’s active pursuit of humans, His character is displayed. We see the intensity of His love, the wisdom of His ways, and the power of His works. The Cross teaches us never to forget the divine initiative. We think we pursued God, forgetting that He supplies all revelation, all strength, and all means of knowing Him. We receive only what He has already given. As a result, we cannot celebrate our wisdom or the world’s—only His.

God in his wisdom saw to it that the world would never know him through human wisdom.

1 Corinthians 1:21
