The Cross, a point of Crossroad.

In today’s WordFest, Dr. Julius Mengot Mbu unpacks “The Cross – a point of crossroad” and explores the purpose of the Cross in the life of a believer. He explains that the Cross is not only the place where Christ died for our sins, but also the turning point where every believer must choose a new direction—away from self‑rule and sin, and toward surrender to Jesus as Lord. For Dr. Mbu, the Cross is both:
A place of salvation: where God’s love and justice meet, and believers receive forgiveness, freedom from guilt, and reconciliation with God.
A point of cross‑road: where each person decides whether to continue living for themselves or to die to self and follow Christ in discipleship.
He stresses that the Cross changes identity: a believer now lives “under the Cross,” bearing it in humility, service, and obedience, while depending on Christ’s finished work for strength, purpose, and eternal hope.
