Una Church of Christ Sunday, May 3, 2015 But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 What’s in the Middle ! I am a fan of Oreo cookies. In fact, I could probably eat a whole package of ‘double stuff’ in one sitting. What makes Oreos so good? It’s not the cookie. The brittle chocolate cookie, by itself, would be passed over. However, it is the creme that makes the Oreo so good. It’s not the outside but what’s in the middle that make the Oreo. ! Similarly, the Judaizers taught that it was outside things (i.e. circumcision) that really mattered. Paul taught something different. He said that it wasn’t about diets, customs, or even festivals that mattered. What mattered most was the cross of Christ. More importantly how the cross of Christ changes the inner-man. ! The cross of Christ should become the center of the believer’s life. We should live in, boast in, proclaim, and even revel in the cross of Christ. The cross should be the center of our lives. After all, it is what matters most! ! Will ! Lesson - What Matters Most ! Text - Galatians 6:15-16 15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God. ! ! ! ! !
