It rests on the time line of history like a compelling diamond.  Its tragedy summons all sufferers.  Its absurdity attracts all cynics.  Its hope lures all searchers.  History has idolized and despised it, gold-plated and burned it, worn and trashed it.  History has done everything but ignore it.  How could you?  How could you ignore such a piece of lumber?  Suspended on its beams is the greatest claim in history.  A crucified carpenter claiming to be GOD on earth.  Divine.  Eternal.  The Death-Slayer.  Never has timber been regarded so sacred.  No wonder The Apostle Paul called The Cross event the core of The Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-5).  Its bottom line is sobering: If the account is true, it is history's hinge.  Period.  If not, The Cross is history's hoax.  As you ponder Christ on The Cross, What are your thoughts?
