Paul boasted in the cross of Christ (Galatians 6:14). It proclaims the love of God and brings peace between God and man (John 15:13; Colossians 1:19, 20). Our boast ought to be in the cross as well. Some believe that boasting in the cross means we should focus more on Christ and less on the Church. It is believed that preaching about the Church, insisting on obedience to the doctrine of Christ, will drive people away. This attitude is unscriptural as this lesson points out.
