“But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” (Galatians 6:14, ESV)

In your Bible of over one thousand pages, what matters? Among all the dos and don’ts; the shoulds and shouldn’ts, what is essential? What is indispensable? The Old Testament? The New Testament? Grace? Baptism? The part that matters most is the cross. No more and no less. The cross. In the cross, there is everything that defines and enables a believer to be like Christ.

Prayer: Lord, I have decided to know nothing except you and you crucified (1 Cor 2:2).
