John F. MacArthur Jr. Quote
Christians, it would seem, are stuck with a very unattractive product to promote: Christ on the cross. This is a weak, shameful image that offends the sensibilities and shocks the refined emotions of decent people. The claim that Roman soldiers executed the God of the universe on a cross, like a criminal, also assaults our rational minds. It’s an affront to the pride we carry for having the gift of reason that puts us above the animals.
