In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. (Psalm 62:7)
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18)
Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas

Gospel of the cross

The passion of Jesus on the cross is the outpouring of the power and wisdom of God. The gospel of the cross cannot be understood by human reason, but by the revelation of the Spirit. Celebrating the passion of Jesus is celebrating life, as his death gave us the death of our corrupt nature and his resurrection made us born again. The gospel of the cross has not stopped announcing itself and is still looking for "madmen" who preach their madness, who understand the value of the cross. The challenge is to look to heaven so that our message loses its fragile humanity and Christ remains the irreplaceable word of the cross. Read more...

Carlos A. Borja Flores: Jesus did not remain in a tomb, Jesus was resurrected. As the Word says in 1 Corinthians 15:14 "And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, and your faith is also in vain." Christ died on a cross to teach us that we must put to death our carnal nature; but he rose again, to teach us to live according to the Word of God; that is, with a spiritual nature, restored. Dear God, give me wisdom to understand the death and resurrection of Your beloved Son
What a deep reflection, Carlos! It is true that the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of our Christian faith, as you mention in 1 Corinthians 15:14. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas teaches us, the resurrection of Christ shows us the transformative power of the cross and invites us to live according to the Word of God with a restored nature. May God's wisdom continue to guide your understanding of the death and resurrection of Jesus, and may you experience the redemptive power of his sacrifice in your life. May the light and truth of the Gospel continue to illuminate your path! 🙏🏼✨

What a beautiful reflection, Francisco! To celebrate the victory of life over death, as you do in your comment, is to remember that Christ, the Lamb of God, sacrificed himself but rose triumphantly, this event being the foundation of our faith. As Faustino de Jesús Zamora Vargas shares with us, the cross and resurrection of Jesus are the basis of our hope and grant us victory over evil. May the sign of the cross continue to be our strength and shield in the midst of spiritual battles, always reminding us of the victory we have in Christ Jesus. Amen! 🙏🏼✨
