boasting of the cross

"As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died." (Galatians 6:14)

Paul got to the point in his life where he wasn't boasting about anything other than the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. I strive to get to that point! I would like to think that I am not a boastful person, and I hope that most people who know me would say the same thing. I know there are sometimes where I selfishly boast a little bit, but I never feel good about myself when I do it. 

I do wish I boasted about the cross more often, because I don't. Paul boasts about the cross of our Lord Jesus because of the cross, his interests in the world have been crucified! That's what we all need to happen because we are sucked in. The interests of the world have us, and distract us like no other. 

We can crucify those interests when we boast about the cross. Jesus died on that cross for ALL our sins. Not just some, but ALL.

As you attack today, don't forget about the power of the cross. Boast about it too!
