Extract from an old post

There is a blog post taking shape in my head, but I will need to refer to this extract from a previous post.  With Easter around the corner, this is also very relevant.

The quote underneath is from a book, written by TL Osborn.

“Let the cross be raised again at the center of the market place, as well as the steeple of the church.

Jesus was not crucified in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two thieves – on the town heap, at the cross roads – so cosmopolitan that they had to write His title in Hebrew and Latin and Greek.

The Son of God was crucified at the kind of place where cynics talk smut, where thieves curse, and where soldiers gamble.

Because that is where Christ died, and since that is what He died about, that is where Christians can best share His message of love because that is what real Christianity is all about.”
