1 John 3:8 – What Destroys Us Is What We Try To Destroy
What destroys us is often what we try to destroy. And in that dual destruction we find our salvation. That is just one messages and meanings of the cross. That is both the irony and paradox of the cross. Jesus came to destroy sin. And sin destroyed Him, so that He could ultimately destroy it. The sinners destroying Jesus’ flesh on the cross ultimately can be saved by what they destroyed. In our own lives, we are either destroyed by sin, or struggle to destroy sin. Most likely every day is a realization that both are active realities.
