Enemies of the Cross

Philippians 3:18-20

​

The cross is a symbol of our past sins forgiven and our future hope in heaven.

But we shouldn’t be surprised that there are enemies of Christ today, because from the time that he first arrived Jesus had people try to kill him.

 

Why was Jesus so hated? That his enemies were determined to get rid of him. Why were they elated by the sight of Jesus suffering on the cross so much so that they taunted him in his death?

​

If you live a genuine Christian life in the real world, you’re going to discover that occasionally, you will have opposition as well.

​

For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things.  But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
