May I Never Boast

Galatians 6: 14 reads May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.


Hopefully as Christians we begin to feel this way towards the world and it's machinations and encumbrances.

Matthew Henry states in his commentary on the whole Bible "By Christ, or by the cross of Christ, the world was crucified to him, and he to the world; he had experienced the power and virtue of it in weaning him from the world, and this was one great reason of his glorying in it. The false teachers were men of a worldly temper, their chief concern was about their secular interests, and therefore they accommodated their religion thereunto. But Paul was a man of another spirit; as the world had no kindness for him, so neither had he any great regard to it; he had got above both the smiles and the frowns of it, and had become as indifferent to it as one who is dying out of it. This is a temper of mind that all Christians should be labouring after; and the best way to attain it is to converse much with the cross of Christ. The higher esteem we have of him the meaner opinion shall we have of the world, and the more we contemplate the sufferings our dear Redeemer met with from the world the less likely shall we be to be in love with it."

I can't say it any better myself... Today's image is an edit of a cross. I hope you enjoy it and the selected scripture that goes with it.
