Ptr. Ray Comfort posted: Those who speak about “the love of Jesus,” but refuse to preach the gospel of love revealed in the bloodied cross, will have the smile of the world. Their listeners have itching ears and they are more than pleased to have them scratched with a soft gospel. They are of the world; they speak of the world and the world gladly hears them. Jesus gave warning to those who fall into this subtle trap: “Woe to you, when all men shall speak well of you!” The cross is the only God-given means of salvation from death, and we will bear reproach as long as we cling to its frame. It is only for a season—some day we will exchange it for a crown. In the meantime, let our faith in Jesus be spoken of throughout the whole world whether it be with a smile or a frown. The praise of men is a volatile minefield of pleasant flowers. In a moment it can swing from a fragrant “Hosanna!” to an explosive “Crucify Him!” Ask any baseball hero who has had a bad season. God’s approval, however, is eternal.
