Why are modern preachers afraid to preach about the Cross? Why are modern preachers ashamed to preach about the wrath of God? Our new Gospel (Good News) Consist of "how to live our best life" or "how to life a purpose driven life." This is not Christianity! We ARE NOT "all that," we are NOTHING! We're sinners given grace by the blood of Jesus Christ.
The grace given to us by Jesus Christ is the most encouraging message in the entire world! We don't need preachers explaining to us how to have the most abundant life, we need a Savior who takes God's wrath on our behalf. We need Jesus.
The death of Christ was the ONLY way to satisfy God's wrath on us...why don't we preach this? Jesus is not an accesory to make our life better. Jesus shed his blood for my soul. I don't need a motivational speaker disquised as a preacher telling me how to live my best life now, I need a Savior. I need someone to bear my sins. I need Jesus.
Please, do not turn my Jesus in to someone who died to simply make my life more satisfying. That's not my Jesus. My Jesus is so much more than that. My Jesus bore the sins of the World. And God's wrath is now satisfied. THAT is the Jesus that I love with all my heart.
