THE CENTERPIECE OF SALVATION

“But we preach Christ crucified…”  (1 Corinthians 1: 23a)

A centerpiece is the central or most important feature. Centerpieces tend to be the focus or center of attention. Anyone who has ever attended a wedding should be familiar with centerpieces. The centerpiece of the wedding is the bride; the centerpiece of the reception is the couple. The centerpiece of Philosophy is the love of wisdom. The centerpiece of Science is knowledge, knowing how things work. The centerpiece of History is facts. The centerpiece of most religions is works. The most important centerpiece of all time is God’s centerpiece, the Cross. The Cross is the centerpiece between the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Cross was the centerpiece of Calvary; Jesus hung on the cross between two thieves. The Cross is the centerpiece of Salvation.

-- Billy Hicks in a sermon entitled “The Centerpiece of the Gospel: The Cross”
