Cross-centered reflection


David Platt’s saying that this Cross is the sign of God’s affection for us, that we need the Cross daily because how else can we die daily? I know — we need a place of execution in our lives if we’re ever to rightly execute a life of faith. And I know my life needs an axle on which to turn and my Christmas needs to be cross-centered ….

If my life isn’t cross-centered, my life is off-centered, and the warping spin leaves me sick.
My life needs centrifaith force and the centrality of the cross is the force that holds together my universe and Grace is my gravity and the Cross is my cosmos. If everything in my world’s spinning out of control, is it because I’ve lost the centrality of the cross?
